Longevity

/lɑːnˈdʒɛvəti/ noun

Longevity is the length of a person’s life, especially when they live a very long time. It can also mean how long something, like a product or idea, lasts or stays useful.

It comes from Latin “longaevitās,” from “longus” (long) and “aevum” (age or lifetime). English adopted it to talk about long life spans and lasting power.
