Decreaseless

/dɪˈkriːsləs/ adjective

Definition

Not decreasing; unchanging, constant, or showing no reduction in amount or intensity.

Etymology

From 'decrease' + -less (without or lacking). 'Decrease' comes from Middle French 'decresse' and Old French 'decreire,' from de- + crescere (to grow). The -less suffix means 'without' or 'not having.'

Kelly Says

Physics and mathematics rarely use this poetic term, but philosophers loved 'decreaseless'—describing eternal truths, divine love, or infinity as decreaseless beautifully captures timeless constancy without the coldness of 'infinite.'
