  • Synonyms Lasting. Durable, Permanent, Stable, enduring, abiding, undecaying. perpetual, unendiug. Lasting means resisting the effects of time or other influences tending to produce decay; continuing for a long time, or as long as the nature of the object admits. It is the proper word for abstract things: as, a lasting impression; sudden reformations are seldom lasting. Durable is preferable for tangible objects, and means capable of resisting wear and tear: as, durable material. Permanent, remaining to the end, abiding for ever, applies equally to physical and abstract objects: as, a permanent dye; a permanent situation; the grave is a permanent resting-place. Permanent and stable imply less of resistance than the others. Stable means permanent in its place, lasting upon its foundations, able to stand indefinitely: as, a stable form of government; a stable character.
