Discussion

The above definition is the official definition of the US government. The same definition appears in both sources. Although the government's interest is in the resilience of infrastructure systems, the definition is sufficiently general to apply to any human-made system. The word has been applied in material sciences, ecology, and psychology. However, those definitions do not apply here. Some sources use the word "resiliency," but "resilience" is more common.
