continuing

Definition 1

State of not having an immediate ending. For example, a union may tell union workers that negotiation meetings have been continuing on for months, days, or in some cases, years, with no end in sight.

Definition 2

Occurring in a cyclical or repetitious pattern without pause; without ceasing or stopping. Supervisors may advise subordinates that continuing to observe safety rules by wearing helmets may prevent accidents.

Definition 3

Resuming or restarting something that was stopped or paused for some time before, though exact periods of times may vary. For example, a person working on a project may be halted for hours or even years before continuing again.
