Διαρκώς is the adverb form of the adjective διαρκής, meaning lasting or durable. That adjective comes from the prefix διά (through) and the verb αρκέω (to suffice, to hold out, to be enough). The sense shifted from holding out through something to happening without stop, which is how διαρκώς is used today.
