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

'harried administrator rejects torrid' is the wordplay.
'harried' is an anagram indicator.
'rejects' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'administrator' with 'torrid' taken out is 'amnisat'.
'amnisat' with letters rearranged gives 'STAMINA'.

'letters demonstrating' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
