The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: constancy, inconstant, constantness, consistent. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Constantly” comes from the Latin verb *constare*, meaning “to stand firm” or “remain steady.” Over time, the idea of something that doesn’t change became the adverb “constantly,” meaning something happens again and again without stopping.
