rigour
Rigour (BrE) or rigor (AmE) (see spelling differences) describes a condition of stiffness or strictness. Rigour frequently refers to a process of adhering absolutely to certain constraints, or the practice of maintaining strict consistency with certain predefined parameters. These constraints may be environmentally imposed, such as "the rigours of famine"; logically imposed, such as mathematical proofs which must maintain consistent answers; or socially imposed, such as the process of defining ethics and law.
== Etymology ==
Rigour comes to English through old French (13c., Modern French rigueur) meaning stiffness, which itself is based on the Latin rigorem (nominative rigor) "numbness, stiffness, hardness, firmness; roughness, rudeness," from the verb rigere "to be stiff". The noun was frequently used to describe a condition of strictness or stiffness, which arises from a situation/constraint either chosen or experienced passively. For example, the title of the book ''Theologia Moralis Inter Rigorem et Laxitatem Medi'' roughly translates as "mediating theological morality between rigour and laxness". The book details, for the clergy, situations in which they are obligated to follow church law exactly, and in which situations they can be more forgiving yet still considered moral. Rigor mortis translates directly as the stiffness(rigour) of death(mortis), again describing a condition which arises from a certain constraint (death).
