Etymology
From the adjective `dauerhaft` (durable) + the suffix `-igkeit`, which forms abstract nouns (like '-ness' or '-ity'). `dauerhaft` itself comes from `Dauer` (duration) + `-haft` (having).
Memory Tips
Think of 'duration' (`Dauer`). Something with good `Dauerhaftigkeit` has a long duration and 'haft's (sticks) around.
