  • any mechanical force that tends to retard or oppose motion
  • electric resistance: a material's opposition to the flow of electric current; measured in ohms
  • the military action of resisting the enemy's advance; "the enemy offered little resistance"
  • immunity: (medicine) the condition in which an organism can resist disease
  • the capacity of an organism to defend itself against harmful environmental agents; "these trees are widely planted because of their resistance to salt and smog"
  • underground: a secret group organized to overthrow a government or occupation force
