perdurable

lasting

adjective pehr-doo-RAH-bleh Rare

Origin: From Latin perdurabilis, from perdurare ('to endure').

Also means

enduring, everlasting

Usage Note

Perdurable is more formal and literary than the everyday duradero ('lasting'); it implies something that endures almost indefinitely, often with a philosophical or poetic tone. It does not change form for gender (perdurable for both masculine and feminine) but inflects in number: perdurables. The verb is perdurar ('to endure, to last').

Examples

"Dejó una impresión perdurable en todos."

Natural Translation

He left a lasting impression on everyone.
