resilient
C1
bounces back · tough · adaptable · recovers well
Like a willow in a storm, something resilient can bend without breaking, recover after trouble, adapt when needed, and keep going.
Resilient describes a person, material, system, community, or ecosystem that can take a hit, adjust, and recover without falling apart. It means healing, adapting, and continuing through difficulty—a hopeful combination of flexibility, endurance, and recovery.
