Mental calmness and composure, especially in difficult situations. It represents emotional stability and the ability to remain undisturbed by stress or conflict.
From Latin 'aequanimitas', combining 'aequus' (equal) and 'animus' (mind/spirit). The concept emphasizes having an 'equal mind' that remains balanced regardless of circumstances.
Break it down: 'equa-' (equal) + 'anim-' (mind/spirit) + '-ity' - it's literally having an equal, balanced mind! Think of an equator dividing the earth equally.
