Difference between Stamina and Durability

If a person can fight and/or survive despite severe injuries (or survive a bit longer), is that pain tolerance or durability?
For example with a human being who has been the victim of bladed weapon blows (knife, sword, etc.)?
 
Endurance is the ability to endure physical stresses such as holding your breath for large periods, remaining calm through stressful or painful situations, tolerating extreme hunger, unbearable thirst, and strong urges to sleep.

Durability is the ability to withstand damage, allowing you to take numerous blows of internal or external assaults such as bullets, grenades and low to medium explosives before succumbing to the effects.

Stamina is the ability to be resistant to the build-up of lactic acid in your muscles, allowing you to be physically active for considerably longer periods.

But in this wiki’s case, endurance and stamina are synonymous with each other?

Not really. Stamina is the measure of how much and how long one can significantly exert themselves. Endurance is how much one can function through physical (or otherwise) trauma such as sleep deprivation, wounds, starvation etc.

At least, as I understand the current consensus on it.
 
They are similar as endurance feats are listed on stamina, but they are technically different
