Word Origin.
Latin, late 13th century

"Perdurable" comes to us from late Middle English via Old French, with the root in the Latin "perdurare," meaning "endure." You'd be hard-pressed to find anything more perdurable than the isotope xenon-124: It has the longest half-life of any material that's been directly measured in a lab, 18 sextillion years.
