Oppressively constant (10)
I believe the answer is:
relentless
'oppressively constant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for relentless that I've seen before include "Persistent" , "Uncompromising" , "Harsh, inflexible" , "Oppressively constant; inflexible" , "Allowing no respite" .)
