unentwegt vs ständig

constant

'ständig' and 'unentwegt' both describe that something happens for a very long time or again and again without a break. 'ständig' is more neutral and very common in everyday language. It can mean true continuity, but also simply very frequent repetition. 'unentwegt' emphasizes more strongly that someone or something really does not stop. It sounds a bit more intense and often more descriptive. If you only want to say that something happens often, 'ständig' works well. If you want to especially emphasize continuous movement or action without pauses, 'unentwegt' is more precise.
