semi-permanent
Not quite forever
Semi-permanent describes something intended to last for a considerable time but not forever.
A semi-permanent hair dye fades over several weeks.
A semi-permanent structure can be removed but isn't meant to be temporary.
The term splits the difference between permanent and temporary—lasting longer than you'd casually undo, but not designed to endure indefinitely.
