Lasting for an extremely long period; relating to something that persists through multiple ages or eons.
From Latin 'dirus' meaning terrible or dire, combined with the suffix -ian, suggesting something that endures through time periods.
Though rare, 'dirian' captures the human anxiety about time—we use 'dire' to mean something bad, but 'dirian' suggests badness that just... keeps... going.
