loins
The fleshy part of the lower back or loin; by extension, the loins as the seat of physical strength. Figuratively, it is used for inner self-confidence or reliance (i.e., a sense of inward security or hope), and negatively for folly or lack of sound judgment. The word can refer both to the anatomical region and to abstract qualities associated with that part (strength, confidence, or, conversely, self-delusion or folly), depending on context.
