Word to the Wise: Assiduous

"Assiduous" (uh-SIJ-oo-us) – from the Latin for "to attend to" – means tireless and unremitting.

Example (as used by Jacob Heilbrunn in a New York Times review of One Man’s America by George F. Will): "When William F. Buckley Jr. died, George F. Will… became, perhaps, the right’s most enduring elder statesman. It’s a distinction he’s worked assiduously to earn."
