tankiness
Ability to endure
Tankiness is the quality of being able to absorb damage or punishment without going down.
The term comes from video games, where a tank is a character class designed to draw enemy fire and survive hits that would kill other players: This build prioritizes tankiness over damage output.
The concept extends to anything built to endure: The car's tankiness makes it perfect for rough terrain.
