When someone falls and tries to stand up again. In one word?

In movies we see the protagonist character fight but sometimes our hero can't... he falls down every time... but never loses hope.. and tries to stand up again...

In one word what it's called?


Solution 1:

Resilient able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions

At the heart of resilience is a belief in oneself—yet also a belief in something larger than oneself.

Resilient people do not let adversity define them. They find resilience by moving towards a goal beyond themselves, transcending pain and grief by perceiving bad times as a temporary state of affairs source

Solution 2:

Perhaps you could use one of these words? I found them with a Google search of define determined, because "determined" was the first word that came to mind.

determined, resolute, purposeful, purposive, adamant, single-minded, unswerving, unwavering, undaunted, intent, insistent, steadfast, staunch, stalwart, persevering, persistent, indefatigable, tenacious, strong-minded, strong-willed, unshakable, steely, four-square, dedicated, committed, stubborn, dogged, obstinate, inflexible, intransigent, unyielding, immovable, rock-ribbed

I bolded the ones that I think fit this description particularly well.

Solution 3:

bouncebackability, as coined by a soccer pundit.

Solution 4:

Depending on the kind of point you are trying to make, you could call such a person indomitable to emphasize that nothing will bring them down.

You could use indefatigable to say that they never tire and always keep trying. The already mentioned relentless and persevering also emphasize the same aspect and would be more likely to be used here.

A term often used to describe such people is fighter, as in don't worry, she's a fighter, she'll never give up.

Finally, you could also use words like naive or (hopeless) romantic if you wanted to criticize this person for not knowing when to give up.

Solution 5:

  • reboundability

A rebound as a noun is also an object or entity that you acquire as a means of rebounding, for example

  • acquiring a new hobby by rebounding from a depressing career failure
  • meeting a new intimate partner when rebounding from a relationship break-up.
  • getting an 'A' in Physics, rebounding from a previous fail in that subject.
