Is the word comprehensive a synonym for lasting?

No, "comprehensive" and "lasting" are not synonyms. They have different meanings.

* Comprehensive means covering or including everything. It refers to the breadth or scope of something.

* Lasting means continuing for a long time; enduring. It refers to the duration of something.

Here are some examples to illustrate the difference:

* Comprehensive: A comprehensive insurance plan covers a wide range of risks.

* Lasting: The couple had a lasting love for each other.

While something comprehensive might be designed to have a lasting impact, the two words themselves are not interchangeable.
