aeviternity

/ˌiːvɪˈtɜːnɪti/

Etymology

Learned borrowing from Latin aeviternus (“eternal, perpetual”) + English -ity (suffix forming nouns, especially abstract nouns), probably modelled after eternity. Aeviternus is derived from aevum (“infinite time; eternity, timelessness; undefined long period of time, age, era; generation, lifespan, lifetime; temporal mode of existence between time and eternity”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ey- (“age; eternity; life, vital force”)) + -rnus (suffix forming adjectives). Doublet of aevum and aye.

Why this word is great

AEVITERNITY — [Noun] The perpetual, created duration between measured time and absolute eternity; the temporal mode of incorruptible beings. From the Latin aeviternus ("eternal, perpetual"), itself from aevum ("age, duration, eternity") + the English suffix -ity (forming abstract nouns). Unlike "eternity" (the uncreated, boundless present of the divine) or "sempiternity" (mere endless succession), aeviternity is duration crystallized: a beginning held perpetually at its zenith. It is the cold, constant shimmer of a fixed star, the serene witness of a stone cathedral nave, and the warmth of a memory so perfectly preserved it becomes a permanent chamber of the mind—the soul's quiet reprieve in the middle kingdom where nothing is lost because nothing more can happen.

noun

Synonym of eternity (“existence without end”).“There [in the new heaven] shall we, indissolubly, with all the choir of heaven pass our eviternity of bliss, in lauding and praising the incomprehensibly-glorious Majesty of our Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier; in perpetual Hallelujahs to him that sits upon the throne.”
Synonym of aevum (“the temporal mode of existence between time and eternity, said to be experienced by angels, saints, and celestial bodies (which medieval astronomy believed to be unchanging)”).“Further, if there is no before and after in æviternity, it follows that in æviternal things there is no difference between being, having been, or going to be. Since then it is impossible for æviternal things not to have been, it follows that it is impossible for them not to be in the future, which is false, since God can reduce them to nothing.”
