permanentizing

Rendering forever unchangeable

Permanentizing is the act of making something permanent or lasting.

The word appears in business and technical contexts where established terms like fixing, preserving, or simply making permanent would serve better.

It has the ring of corporate jargon—a verb manufactured from an adjective that didn't need the extra syllable: The committee discussed permanentizing the temporary policy.
