Morphology
perdurability = perdurable (semi-transparent) = per + durable + ity
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'perdurable'; the structure is regular but the prefix 'per-' is rare and may be unfamiliar to many learners.
Etymology
The word perdurability comes from the prefix per- meaning 'very' or 'through' and the root durare meaning 'to last', the same idea behind the common word durable. So, perdurability means that something can 'last' for a very long time.
