permalink
Stable web address
A permalink is a permanent link—a URL designed to remain unchanged indefinitely, ensuring the address will still work in the future.
The term emerged from blogging, where each post gets its own stable address rather than appearing only on a shifting front page.
I'll send you the permalink so you can bookmark it.
Now used broadly for any persistent web address.
