Etymology
'resilient-leaved' originates from the combination of 'resilient' and 'leaved', where 'resilient' comes from Latin 'resilire', meaning 'to leap back', and 'leaved' refers to having leaves.
'Resilient' changed from the Latin word 'resilire' to the modern English word 'resilient', and 'leaved' is derived from the Old English 'lēaf', meaning 'leaf'.
Initially, 'resilient' meant 'to leap back', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions'.
