How to Memorize

unwavering - firm

Analysis

Something ‘unwavering’ will not weaken or subside and continues in a firm and steady way. The word is most commonly used in relation to a belief, position, or attitude. Unlike some of its synonyms, it implies a high degree of mental determination and courage rather than sheer stubbornness. For that reason, it has only positive connotations.

2. Despite threats against her life, the journalist was unwaveringly committed to exposing the activities of the organized crime group.
