resillent

Resillent is generally considered a misspelling of the English adjective resilient. It does not have a separate meaning or entry in major English dictionaries, and it is not widely recognized as a distinct term. In written English, resillent typically arises from typing errors, autocorrect, or confusion with the French spelling résilient. The intended meaning is the same as resilient: capable of withstanding or recovering quickly from difficulties, adversity, or disturbance.

In some cases, resillent appears as a proper noun, such as a surname or a brand name. When used as a name, capitalization signals its status as a proper noun rather than a word with a semantic definition.

Etymology: Both resillent and resilient trace back to the Latin resiliens, from resilire "to spring back" via French and English usage. The conventional English form is resilient.

Usage and style: Editors and lexicographers recommend standardizing to resilient in prose. If a source uses resillent, preserve it as a quotation or as part of a proper noun; otherwise, correct to resilient. In technical writing about systems, "resilience" and "resilient" are the preferred forms.
