strength
Capacity to endure
Strength is the quality of being strong—the capacity to exert force, resist pressure, or endure strain.
Physical strength moves heavy objects; mental strength withstands hardship.
The word extends to intensity or concentration: the strength of the coffee, the strength of her convictions.
A strength is also a particular asset or advantage: Math was never my strength.
To go from strength to strength is to achieve successive improvements.
