/rɪˈzɪliənt//rɪˈzɪliənt/

The word "resilient" originated from the Latin verb "re-sis- Social," which means "jump back" or "spring back." This stem is a combination of the prefix "re-," meaning "back" or "again," and the word "salis," which means "jump" or "to leap." The word "resilient" first appeared in the English language in the mid-19th century, referring to materials that could bounce back to their original shape after being stretched or compressed. In time, the term was expanded to describe individuals who possess the ability to adapt, cope, and recover from adversity, setbacks, or trauma. Today, "resilience" is a crucial concept in various fields, such as psychology, medicine, and social sciences. It emphasizes the importance of cultivating mental, emotional, and physical strength, flexibility, and resourcefulness to navigate challenges and thrive in changing circumstances.
