persevere


(adj) - If you persevere, you continue trying to do something in a very determined way, even though it may be difficult - this is a compliment!
  • Synonyms: carry on, continue, stick it out, keep going, pursue, be strong
  • Antonyms: give up, leave, quit, stop
  • Etymology: Mid-14th Century Latin, from per- meaning "very" + severus meaning "strict" (which is where we get the word sever)
  • Morphology: perseverance, perservative, perseverant
  • Example: When the going gets tough, the tough persevere!
