Here's the word used in a sentence from the Minnesota Star Tribune: "Why do we remember the close losses more than the wins?

Looking at perseverate and perseveration, you may guess that the latter was formed by adding a suffix to the former, but that's not the case.

Perseveration is actually the older term by a few years.

In the early 1900s, psychologists adopted perseveration from German for the act of repeating a behavior over and over again.

For instance, continually repeating the same syllable or word might be called verbal perseveration.
