Root Explanation

Perdurability → It is formed from "per-" (meaning through or thoroughly) and "durare" (meaning to last or endure) combined with the suffix "-ability" (meaning the quality of being). The word "perdurability" refers to the quality of lasting through time or enduring thoroughly.

Memory Tip

Think of something that lasts 'thoroughly' ('per-') and 'endures' ('durare') over time — that's what perdurability means.
