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 entities like gods or vampires. Uncountable when referring to the quality of being deathless.
