The term “longanimity” is employed in literature to evoke an air of steadfast forbearance and enduring grace, often synonymous with patient suffering or longsuffering. Its classical definition—as seen in a renowned thesaurus—associates it with placability and forbearance [1], while narratives sometimes imbue characters with an almost solemn quality, as when Indiana’s demeanor is described in this way [2]. Beyond character portrayal, the word is also used in theological contexts, where it appears among the fruits of the Spirit and is discussed as an attribute of divine patience and fortitude [3, 4]. Moreover, writers engage with the subtle debate over whether longanimity is distinct from patience, hinting at its deeper connection with magnanimity and an inherent capacity for graceful endurance [5, 6].
