Something that stays put through all the time ahead — it does not run out, wear off, or change back.

可以想成:一樣東西一路撐過往後的時間,不會用完、不會退掉、也不會變回原樣。permanent 的核心畫面比較像「一直留著、穿過時間都還在」的那種持久。

From the word’s history

From Latin permanere = per- (through) + manere (to stay, remain) — to stay through to the end. What is permanent stays through time instead of stopping partway.

來自拉丁文 permanere:per-(穿過)+ manere(停留、留下),意思是「一路留到最後」。permanent 的東西就是能穿過時間繼續留著,而不是中途就停、就消失。
