sticktoitiveness

The ability to withstand the test of time, even to the point of coming back from apparent extinction.

Some words refuse to be relegated to linguistic history books -- like the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, they seem to ressurect after years of disuse, showing remarkable sticktoitiveness.

My teacher told me he was impressed by my sticktoitiveness
