Semper never changes its ending, and it normally stands in front of the verb or at the head of its clause rather than trailing at the end as English often lets always do. Put non before it and you get not always, which is a far weaker claim than never, so the word order is carrying the whole meaning. It survives visibly in sempiternal and in the plant name sempervivum, always alive.
