Crossword Genius

Good man with morning in area showing resilience (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stamina

'resilience' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'good man with morning in area' is the wordplay.
'good man' becomes 'st'.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'morning' becomes 'am'.
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'st'+'am'+'in'+'a'='STAMINA'

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for stamina that I've seen before include "The ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort" , "grit" , "Ability to maintain effort" , "This man owes his strength" , "Endurance - staying power" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
