Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin verb persistere, a compound of per- (through, thoroughly) and sistere (to cause to stand, to stand). Entering English in the late 16th century via French, the term originally denoted standing firm or holding out resolutely against opposition before shifting to also describe unyielding continuity of states, conditions, or problems.
