Firm"ness , n. The state or
quality of being firm. Syn. -- Firmness,
Constancy. Firmness belongs to the will, and
constancy to the affections and principles; the former prevents us from yielding, and the latter from fluctuating. Without firmness a man has no character; "without constancy," says Addison, "there is neither love, friendship, nor virtue in the
world."
