Morphology

lastingness = lasting (transparent) = last + ing + ness

The noun is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'lasting', a standard and semantically regular derivation.

Etymology

Lastingness comes from the simple English root last, which means 'to continue' or 'to stay for a long time', plus the endings -ing and -ness that make it a noun about a quality. So, lastingness is the quality of something that keeps going or resists wear, which is why we use it for long friendships or strong products.
