Possessing courage and a bold spirit; fearless and determined in facing danger or difficulty.
Compound of brave (from Old French and Spanish roots meaning fierce/bold) plus hearted (from Old English heorte, meaning the center of emotions and courage).
The 1995 film 'Braveheart' popularized this Shakespearean-era compound word, making Scottish historical drama mainstream—yet the real William Wallace was far less romantic and more politically complex than Hollywood portrayed.
