The ability to adapt and overcome any situation. Although everything on earth has some shred of verastitude, some have more verastitude than others, and verastitude presents itself in various ways. A courageous soldier has verastitude; as does a hardworking miner; a single mother; a train-hopping hobo; a prison inmate; a toll jockey; a sailor; tigers; even you have verastitude. It's a down home concoction of grit, courage, know-how, cleverness, cunning, resourcefulness and perspicacity shot up with a bit of gumption.
"Tenzig and Hillary were the first people to climb Mt. Everest."
"Damn, that took hella verastitude."
