indelibility
Cannot be erased
Indelibility is the quality of being permanent or impossible to remove.
The word applies literally to marks that cannot be erased—the indelibility of a tattoo or permanent ink—and figuratively to experiences or memories that persist: The indelibility of childhood trauma shapes adult behavior.
What has indelibility endures despite efforts or time.
