    1. with tireless persistence and energy

    Beyond the definition

    Imagine a hummingbird, moving from flower to flower with nonstop energy. That is the feeling behind "indefatigably." It describes someone doing something with steady effort and energy, without seeming to get tired or give up. A dedicated researcher might work indefatigably on a hard problem, and a volunteer might campaign indefatigably for a cause they believe in. It is more than just working hard; it is about keeping going with the same strong spirit over time.
