undecaying
Resisting all decomposition
Not subject to decay or deterioration; remaining intact or uncorrupted over time.
The word appears in literary and religious contexts, often describing eternal or imperishable things: the undecaying glory of heaven, undecaying monuments to human achievement.
Something undecaying resists the natural process of breaking down that affects most matter.
