Etymology:
The word "courageous" comes from the Old French word "corageux," which in turn comes from the Latin word "cor," meaning "heart." The root word "cor" also gives us the English words "cardiac" and "cordial."
Meaning:
Courageous means having or showing bravery, boldness, or determination in facing danger, difficulty, or adversity. It is the quality of being able to face challenges without fear or hesitation.
Origin:
The concept of courage has been present in human cultures throughout history. The Roman philosopher Seneca wrote in the 1st century AD: "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."
In the Middle Ages, courage was considered one of the seven virtues of chivalry and was highly valued in knights and warriors. The word "courageous" began to be used in the English language in the 14th century.
