The usual rendering for anicca is "impermanent". However, the antonym of the term, nicca, carries connotations of constancy and dependability; and as anicca is used to emphasise the point that conditioned phenomena cannot be depended on to provide true happiness, this seems a useful rendering for conveying this point.
