Kanji 幾 how many, how much, how far Similar words 永えい 遠えん に 永遠に is the common, neutral word for 'forever' or 'eternally'. 幾久しく is more formal, literary, and often used in well-wishing expressions.
末すえ 永なが く 末永く also means 'for a long time' and is used in similar congratulatory contexts, but 幾久しく carries a slightly more classical, solemn tone.
Etymology Compound of 幾 (iku, 'how many') + 久しく (hisashiku, adverbial form of 久しい, 'long time'). Literally 'for how many long times', it came to mean 'forever' or 'eternally' in formal usage.
