What does “secular” mean in this context?

ECONOMICS (of a fluctuation or trend) occurring or persisting over an indefinitely long period. "there is evidence that the slump is not cyclical but secular"

I'm guessing it comes from Latin. I'm kind of cheating here but "secular" means something with a duration of a century or more in Romanian ("secol" is a hundred years).

So probably something long lived.
