                      sedulitas refers to an activity that shows itself in small matters, often even of a comic sort, the indefatigable bustling of the busy housewife, of the good-natured nurse.

                      assiduitas refers to an extensive tendency to put in a worthy uninterrupted effort.

                      diligentia reers to intensive careful application to whatever is needed in order to the aims of one's industry.

                      謹，慎

                      1. WL claims that ji3n 謹 refers to chariness, sparseness and carefulness in the use of language whereas she4n 慎 refers to intellectual sincerity and strenuous severe effort. In fact, ji3n 謹 is a technical term for the opposite of sparseness in the use of language, i.e. the meticulous and almost fastidious making explicit of things that might seem superfluous, as in ji3n zhi1 謹之 "be meticulous about something" e.g. a date: 謹而日之 "record the day meticulously". Moreover, the speech radical and LY 10.1 not withstanding, and quite predominantly, ji3n 謹 does not refer to any diligence with language at all. It seems perniciously dangerous to follow tradition and take the radical to indicate basic meaning. Basic meaning must emerge from attested usage.
