Morphology
resilience = resilient (transparent) = resili + ence
Formed as the noun corresponding to the adjective 'resilient' (standard nominalization), so the meaning 'ability to recover' follows directly.
Etymology
Resilience comes from the Latin verb resilire, made of re- 'back' and salire 'to jump'. So think of resilience as 'jumping back' or 'bouncing back'—the ability of a thing or a person to return to its old shape or to recover quickly after stress or trouble.
