🌳Etymology
Origin
From Latin 'resilire' meaning 'to jump back' or 'rebound,' composed of the prefix 're-' (back) and 'salire' (to jump or leap). The word entered English in the 17th century with the literal sense of bouncing back, later acquiring figurative meanings related to recovering from adversity.
