Assiduous refers to showing great care, attention, and effort. It is often used to describe a person's approach to tasks that require diligence and persistence. The term is derived from the Latin word assiduus, which means "constant" or "continual". Assiduous behavior is characterized by being thorough, meticulous, and consistent, often in pursuit of achieving or maintaining high standards.
