outlasts

Persists beyond others

Outlasts means survives or endures longer than something else.

A stone building outlasts a wooden one.

A marriage outlasts the initial passion.

The word implies comparison—something remains while another thing fades, breaks, or dies: She outlasted three bosses before finally getting promoted.

To outlast an opponent is to win by endurance rather than force.
