Dureful

/ˈdjʊərfəl/ adjective

Definition

Full of duration; lasting or enduring in nature.

Etymology

From 'dure' (to last) plus the suffix '-ful' (full of). An archaic or rare English adjective.

Kelly Says

This word is so archaic it barely exists in modern usage, but it perfectly shows how English once used '-ful' to turn any verb about lasting into an adjective!
