Etymology
From un- (not) + befristet (limited in time, fixed-term). The noun 'Frist' means 'deadline' or 'time limit'. So, literally 'not time-limited'.
Memory Tips
Think of 'Frist' as a 'deadline'. Something that is 'un-be-frist-et' has no deadline, making it permanent or indefinite. Very desirable for a work contract!
