Resilient:
- Elastic – to spring back into shape (material perspective)
- Recover from setbacks (human perspective)
Resilience is pronounced as Re (from Return) + Zee + Lee + Uns (from Unstable) and Resilient is just the same ending with T.
It is derived from Latin Resilire meaning to jump back. Resilire itself is based on Salire which is the root for Salient and means to jump.
Situational Uses:
- His resilience, despite repeated failures brought him worldly success. One only fails when he gives up. The person who bounces back after each failure comes closer to success.
- The pillar was rather resilient and stood upright in spite of the numerous cannon attacks it had to face over the centuries.
