Hello! Can you please tell me if there is a difference in meaning between resilience and resiliency?
Thank you so much!

Hi,

There is no difference - both mean ability to resist shock. I would only add that in British/English resilience is perhaps more common.

Resiliency is an adjective #3 (permalink) Mon Jan 16, 2012 9:52 am   Resiliency is an adjective
 

I think there *is* a difference. Just speaking from my mind, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe resiliency is the adjective of resilience.

So for instance, "for sake of resilience the server has been given more disk space for increased resiliency" A very ugly sentence, but grammatically correct.

Hi,

This post certainly goes back a long way but I still stick with my original comment. For the record 'resilience/resiliency' are both nouns and 'resilient' is in fact the adjective.
