/pəˈdʒʊərəbl/,

/pəˈdʒɔːrəbl/, U.S.

/pərˈd(j)ʊrəb(ə)l/

Forms: Middle English pardurabill, Middle English–1500s pardurable, Middle English– perdurable; also Scottish pre-1700 perdurabil, pre-1700 perdurabile, pre-1700 perdurabill.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French pardurable.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French pardurable, perdurable (first half of the 12th cent.; French perdurable ) < post-classical Latin perdurabilis permanent, lasting (6th cent. in Boethius) < classical Latin perdūrāre perdure v. + -bilis -ble suffix. Compare Old Occitan perdurable (late 12th cent.; Occitan perdurable), Catalan perdurable (c1200), Spanish perdurable (1107), Italian perdurabile (a1311).Considered obsolete by Johnson, but common again from the 19th cent. N.E.D. (1905) gives the pronunciation also with primary stress on the first syllable (pə̄·ɹdiŭrăb'l) /ˈpɜːdjʊərəb(ə)l/. This pronunciation is attested from Shakespeare onwards (compare quot. a1616 at sense 1b) and is given by Johnson and several 19th-cent. dictionaries.

a. Chiefly Theology. Esp. of God, the human soul, etc.: everlasting; eternal; existing without end or for all time. Now rare.
