The word temporary means something that is not permanent, but what is the opposite of it? The antonyms for temporary are permanent, enduring, stable, consistent, constant, and lasting. While temporary implies a short-term occurrence or a temporary measure, the antonyms for it revolve around the idea of long-lasting or permanent conditions. If a situation is considered temporary, it means that it will only last for a short while, but if it is regarded as permanent, the opposite would be the case. Consequently, using antonyms for the term "temporary" can help in specifying the tone and meaning of a sentence.
