long term
This term is frequently used in financial, political, and strategic contexts to distinguish between immediate results and distant goals. When used as an adjective, it is typically hyphenated (long-term) when preceding a noun, though it remains two words when following a verb. It carries a connotation of stability, patience, and foresight, often contrasting with the volatility of short-term fluctuations.
As a noun, the phrase is almost exclusively used within the prepositional phrase "in the long term." In this capacity, it functions as a temporal marker to indicate a perspective that ignores current distractions in favor of an eventual outcome.
