resiliently

In rebounding fashion

Resiliently means in a manner that recovers quickly from difficulty or adapts well to change.

Someone who responds resiliently to setbacks bounces back rather than staying defeated: She resiliently rebuilt her career after the layoff.

The word applies to physical elasticity as well—a material that resiliently returns to its original shape after being compressed.
