    Has anyone else noticed this?

    In Germany it started during the covid era. Most use cases include a
    vast amount of bullshit.

    I do not think there is a single German word with the same meaning. That’s why the word has been adopted (as "Resilienz") into many scientific
    contexts, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resilienz . It is not (yet?)
    used in everyday language.

    A translation in dictionaries is "Widerstandsfähigkeit" (lit. meaning: resistence ability), but this denotes first and foremost the prevention of
    harm and damage in case of an attack (no matter whether by natural or
    human forces); in English I would call that robustness. Resilience does
    more focus on (or at least include) the ability to recover from harm and
    damage already suffered.
