Answer:

permanent

Explanation:

the opposite word of fleeting is permanent

Answer 2

The opposite of fleeting is permanent.

Fleeting refers to something that does not last a very long time. It is synonymous with words such as brief, transient, short-lived, and more. An example of a sentence that uses Fleeting is, "My time with you is a fleeting moment." This means that the time you spend with this person is short-lived. Permanent is the opposite of this word. Permanent is something that is meant to last or remain unchanged indefinitely. It is synonymous with words such as lasting, enduring, indefinite, and more. An example of a sentence, "I have made permanent changes to the timetable". This means that the changes made to the timetable are fixed and will not be changed.

NOTE: A simple way to understand this is, Fleeting is a short time and permanent is a long time.
