Continual instances revised (9)

I believe the answer is:

incessant

'continual' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'instances revised' is the wordplay.
'revised' indicates an anagram.
'instances' anagrammed gives 'INCESSANT'.

(Other definitions for incessant that I've seen before include "Perpetual, unremitting" , "Persistent" , "without a break" , "Instances being continually repeated" , "Continuous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
