Spirit, resilience (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mettle

This clue is a double definition.

'spirit' is the first definition.
(I know that mettle is a type of braveness)

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

(Other definitions for mettle that I've seen before include "boldness" , "Pluck" , "Bravery" , "Spirit, resilience" , "Fortitude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Times.
