Word of the day: perdure

The word of the day is perdure:

  1. to continue or last permanently; endure.  
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/perdure)


"To 'irredentist Morelenses, to those who perdure in the unhealthy labor of irreducibles,' he made a special call to stop 'their rebel attitude' and cooperate in 'the reconstructive work.'...

"Garbled, obscure, repetitive, and contradictory, Tajonar's manifesto proved a reliable guide to his administration."

 - John Womack, Zapata and the Mexican Revolution
