Morphology

permalink = permanent + link (transparent) = perma + link

Formed from 'permanent' + 'link' (with clipping of 'permanent' to 'perma'), and the meaning is directly derived from these components.

Etymology

Permalink comes from the words permanent ('lasting') and link ('a connection'). So a permalink is a lasting web address that always points directly to a specific page.
