Why this word is great
SEDULITY — [Noun] The quality of being diligent, persistent, and steadily industrious in one’s work or effort. From the Latin sēdulitās ("diligence, assiduity"), from sēdulus ("diligent, industrious, sedulous"). Unlike "assiduity" (which implies an unblinking, physical constancy) or "alacrity" (which suggests a sprightly, eager promptness), sedulity is a quieter virtue of earnest perseverance. It is the monastic scribe copying a manuscript by candlelight, the gardener weeding the same plot each dawn, and the scholar tracing a single thread of thought through a labyrinth of texts—a humble, stubborn application that, in time, wears down mountains and grows canyons from the stubborn soil of time.
