agelong
Spanning countless generations
Agelong means lasting for ages—an immense span of time: agelong traditions, agelong struggles.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, appearing more often in poetry and elevated prose than everyday speech.
It emphasizes duration that feels eternal or beyond human scale.
