The word "incessantly" contains the root "cess", the suffixes "-ant" and "-ly" and the prefex "in-" which in this case means not. Curiously, the word "unceasingly" contains English versions of the root, prefix and one of the suffixes and yet means exactly the same thing.
Un- equals in- (both negative markers, meaning "not")
Cease equals cess (both roots are verbs meaning to stop)
-Ing equals -ant (both gerund markers, changing verbs to nouns)
-Ly is an adverb marker, changing a noun into an adverb.
Either way, it means "without stopping".
