Alternative forms

Etymology

From Middle English eternyte, from Old French eternité, from Latin aeternitās. Displaced native Old English ēcnes.

Pronunciation

  • (UK) IPA(key): /ɪˈtɜː.nə.ti/
  • (US) enPR: ĭ-tûrʹnĭ-tē, IPA(key): /ɪˈtɝnɪti/

Noun

eternity (countable and uncountable, plural eternities)

  1. (uncountable) Existence without end, infinite time.
  2. (uncountable, philosophy, theology) Existence outside of time.
  3. (countable) A period of time which extends infinitely far into the future.
  4. (metaphysical) The remainder of time that elapses after death.
  5. (informal, hyperbolic) A comparatively long time.

Usage notes

  • In the sense "a comparatively long time", eternity is always used with the indefinite article (an eternity).
  • In philosophy, the common use of eternity to refer to an infinite time is considered incorrect, eternity referring to existence outside of time; existence within time but of an infinite temporal duration is called everlastingness or sempiternity
