EXCORDIS

EXCORS (excordis, adj.): haeartless, brainless, lacking understanding, foolish, silly, or insane - Now I know that ‘excors’ often is translated as ‘silly’ or ‘stupid,’ but the root of the word ‘excordis’ is ‘cordis’, which means ‘of the heart.’ And the word ‘heart’ can often refer to understanding and compassion, not merely to feelings. So, ‘excors’ translated as ‘heartless’ conveys the meaning of the verse better than ‘silly’ or ‘stupid.

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.
