Physical or mental energy used to do something.
From French 'effort', from Latin 'exfortis' meaning 'strong out', from 'ex' (out) and 'fortis' (strong). It originally suggested a strong exertion or struggle.
Effort is invisible from the outside; two people can show the same result with wildly different effort levels. That’s why praising effort, not just outcomes, can change how people approach challenges.
