endurability
Capacity to persist
Endurability is the quality of being able to withstand prolonged stress, hardship, or use.
The word appears in technical contexts—materials science, product testing, athletic training—where something's capacity to hold up over time matters: The endurability of the new alloy exceeded expectations.
In everyday speech, durability is more common.
