durable

Built to last

Durable means able to withstand wear, pressure, or damage over time.

A durable fabric holds up through repeated washing.

Durable goods are products expected to last years rather than be quickly consumed—appliances, furniture, vehicles.

The word emphasizes longevity and resilience: a durable friendship, a durable peace agreement.
