Misneach.
An Irish word. A word I learned from Brian Doyle, who called it “a big word” with “lots of meanings.”
Here are the meanings he gave it in his novel The Plover: “Stay afloat. Don’t drown. Don’t quit. Stay with the boat.”
The Irish, of course, would have a word for “don’t give up the ship.”
Consider adding that word to your vocabulary today.
Misneach.
