doughtiness
Steadfast bravery shown
Doughtiness is brave determination in the face of difficulty—the quality of being doughty.
The word has an old-fashioned, slightly literary ring, often used with gentle irony: Despite her doughtiness, the eight-year-old couldn't finish the hike.
Genuine use describes persistent courage: the doughtiness of the resistance fighters.
