Steadfast

UNDEVIATING

Think of a word meaning unwavering that starts with "un-" and ends like a path’s direction.

"Steadfast" directly hints at something unchanging or resolute, which is exactly what "UNDEVIATING" means—it describes a course or loyalty that never wavers. The word itself breaks down as "un-" (not) plus "deviating" (straying from a path), reinforcing the idea of firmness. It’s a slightly formal term, but in crosswords, it’s a solid fit for clues emphasizing reliability or constancy.
