verastitude

The ability to adapt and overcome any situation. Although everything on earth has some shred of verastitude, some have more verastitude than others, and verastitude presents itself in various ways. A courageous soldier has verastitude; as does a hardworking miner; a single mother; a train-hopping hobo; a prison inmate; a toll jockey; a sailor; tigers; even you have verastitude. It's a down home concoction of grit, courage, know-how, cleverness, cunning, resourcefulness and perspicacity shot up with a bit of gumption.

"Tenzig and Hillary were the first people to climb Mt. Everest."
"Damn, that took hella verastitude."
