Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French word 'corage', stemming from the Vulgar Latin 'coraticum', which is based on the Latin root 'cor' meaning 'heart'. Historically, the heart was considered the seat of feelings, vitality, and bravery, and the word evolved in Middle English to denote the mental or moral strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty.
