Webster's 1828 Dictionary

DURE

v.i.[L. See Durable. ] To last; to hold on in time or being; to continue; to endure. [This word is obsolete; endure being substituted. ]

 

DUREFUL

a.Lasting.

 

DURELESS

a.Not lasting; fading.

 

DURESS

n.[L. See Durable. ] 1. Literally, hardship; hence, constraint. Technically, duress, in law, is of two kinds; duress of imprisonment, which is imprisonment or restraint of personal liberty; and duress by menaces or threats [per minas,] when a person is threatened with loss of life or limb. Fear of battery is no duress. Duress then is imprisonment or threats intended to compel a person to do a legal act, as to execute a deed; or to commit an offense; in which cases the act is voidable or excusable.
2. Imprisonment; restraint of liberty.
