immortal
This word carries a heavy weight of grandeur and permanence. When used biologically, it suggests a defiance of the natural laws of decay and aging, often evoking a sense of divine power or eerie stasis. When applied to art or reputation, it shifts from a literal state of being to a conceptual state of influence. It describes a legacy that refuses to fade, suggesting that the essence of a person survives through the impact they left on the world rather than through physical survival.
Countable when referring to specific beings who cannot die, such as gods or vampires in a story.
