In Latin, ad infinitum means to infinity. As a loan phrase in English, it sometimes means to infinity, but it’s usually used as an adverb meaning endlessly or without limit. As in the examples below, it usually follows the verb or verb phrase it modifies. Ad infinitum is well established in English, so it does not need to be italicized in normal use.
