stoical
의미: Enduring pain, hardship, or adversity without showing feelings or complaining; calmly indifferent to suffering or pleasure.
Stoical (or 'stoic') describes an attitude of dignified endurance, suppressing emotional display in the face of difficulties. It is often used admiringly in British culture, which has traditionally valued restraint. 'Stoic' can also function as a noun. Capitalised, 'Stoic' refers to the ancient Greek philosophical school founded by Zeno of Citium. Common collocations include 'stoical acceptance,' 'stoical silence,' 'stoical determination,' and 'remained stoical.'
