pluckiness
This term describes a spirited, gritty kind of bravery that is often associated with an underdog or someone facing daunting odds. It carries a positive, admiring connotation, suggesting a blend of resilience and optimism rather than a cold or calculated form of courage. It is frequently used in narratives involving personal growth or unexpected triumph.
As an abstract quality, this noun is uncountable. It refers to a general trait or state of being, meaning it cannot be pluralized or counted as individual units. To quantify this quality, one must use partitive constructions such as a streak of pluckiness or a great deal of pluckiness.
