unbeknownst fortitude

bear pain or

adversity with courage

without the knowledge

of someone specified

from beknown, an obsolete synonym of known

from the Latin word fortis, meaning strong

the two words, for a time,

happening or existing

as one

But for a word with a straightforward history,

to describe athletic

strength of mind

strength

of mind that enables

a person to encounter

the road race, in spite of

danger or despair
