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.
