process
1
for a long time continuously
for a long time, without stopping

nonstop (More informal and emphatic.)

unceasingly (More formal; often suggests annoyance or intensity.)

process
2
again and again repeatedly
repeating the same thing many times
Модель употребления:

Don’t use it just to mean 'many times' if there is a clear endpoint; 'repeatedly' may fit better.

repeatedly (Neutral repetition without the idea of 'never-ending'.)
|
again and again (More conversational; often emphasizes frustration.)
|
over and over (Common spoken phrase; strongly repetitive.)

adverb
C1
quantity
3
to an infinite extent
in a way that seems to have no end
Модель употребления:

With adjectives, learners may overuse it where 'very' is enough; 'endlessly' suggests limitless variety/extent, not just strong intensity.
Синонимы
infinitely (Often more abstract or mathematical-sounding.)
|
limitlessly (Emphasizes lack of limits rather than time.)
|
boundlessly (More literary; suggests vastness.)
