permanent

The word "permanent" originates from the Latin permanēns, the present participle of permanēre, meaning "to endure, persist, remain to the end." This Latin verb is a compound of per- ("through, thoroughly") and manēre ("to remain, stay"). The core logic is of something that "remains thoroughly" or "stays through" all changes or challenges of time. This literal sense of enduring persistence evolved into the modern abstract meaning describing a state or condition that is lasting, stable, and not temporary.

Structure: per (through) + man (remain) + ent (adjective suffix) - per: Latin origin, meaning "through, thoroughly". - man: Latin origin, from the verb manēre, meaning "to remain, stay". - ent: Latin suffix -ent- (present participial stem), used in English to form adjectives meaning "doing, being, causing".
