Quote:
Here are four definitions for "steadfast." If you take 1 or 2 as the meaning, then "steadfast progress" is a malapropism: steadfast (immovable) progress (movement). If you take 3 or 4 as the meaning, then there is no malapropism. Steadfast (firm, unwavering) progress. 1 firmly fixed in place : IMMOVABLE b : not subject to change 2. staying the same for a long time and not changing quickly or unexpectedly 3. marked by firm determination or resolution; not shakable 4. firm and unwavering in purpose, loyalty, or resolve |
