long-time
Meaning
Referring to a duration that extends over a significant period, often implying a sense of permanence or deep-rootedness in relation to a particular context or situation, particularly in discussions of historical, social, or economic phenomena.
💡 While "long-time" is often used to denote duration, it is important to distinguish it from "long term," which typically refers to future implications or outcomes; misuse can occur when the two are conflated.
