Also means
to endure
Usage Note
Perdurare stresses duration over time, often with a nuance of something lingering longer than expected or desired — bad weather, a conflict, uncertainty. It is intransitive and more formal than continuare; in literary contexts it can evoke patient endurance.
Examples
"La crisi economica ha perdurato per anni."
Natural Translation
The economic crisis persisted for years.
