Rigidity
Definition:
(n.) The quality or state of being rigid; want of pliability; the quality of resisting change of form; the amount of resistance with which a body opposes change of form; -- opposed to flexibility, ductility, malleability, and softness.
(n.) Stiffness of appearance or manner; want of ease or elegance.
(n.) Severity; rigor.
