What part of speech is ceaselessly?

"Ceaselessly" is an adverb.

Here's why:

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. "Ceaselessly" describes how something happens, in this case, it describes the action of a verb.

* Adverbs often end in "-ly". This is a common way to form adverbs in English.

For example:

* The river flowed ceaselessly towards the ocean. (Modifies the verb "flowed")

* The ceaselessly working machine never stopped. (Modifies the adjective "working")
