Etymology of INTRANSIENT
The word "intransient" is formed by combining the prefix "in-" and the word "transient".
The prefix "in-" in this context is used to indicate negation or the opposite. It comes from Latin and was adopted into English, often used as a form of negation or reversal of the following word. In this case, "in-" suggests the negation or opposite of "transient".
The word "transient" originates from the Latin word "transiens", which is the present participle of the verb "transire", meaning "to go across" or "to pass". It signifies something that is temporary, not lasting, or passing quickly. In English, "transient" is used to describe something or someone that is temporary or short-lived.
