Definition

'Endures' means to last or continue over a period of time, or to suffer something difficult or painful and keep going.

Usage & Nuances

Often used in formal or literary contexts. Common with things that last despite difficulties: 'love endures,' 'the building endures.' Can also mean putting up with hardship.
