When i hear “weathering” i think of something slowly eroding away

Weather is fun choice since it’s a contronym. It has opposing definitions: to endure and to erode.

“He weathered the storm” vs “the stone weathered into an arch”.

Really (in your example) the timeframe is the only difference.

You can endure as long as you want to, but we're all going to erode eventually.

I feel like the thing eroding away in this case is a blocker, a friction. Think of a river cutting a path through the mountains.

Yup, picked that wording to evoke this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_arch
