durus

== Ido == === Verb === durus conditional of durar == Latin == === Etymology === Inherited from Proto-Italic *dūros, from Proto-Indo-European *dweh₂rós (“long”), from *dweh₂- + *-rós. Cognate with Ancient Greek δηρός (dērós, “long”), Sanskrit दू॒र (dūrá, “distant; far; long”), though there are semantic problems if the change “long” > “enduring” (see dūrō) is not accepted.
