Plural of bravery; multiple instances of courageous acts, or displays of fine clothing and ornamentation.
Plural of bravery; bravery comes from brave plus -ery suffix, which originally referred to fine clothing or display, later shifting to mean courageous acts.
The word bravery originally meant 'showy fine clothes' in the 1500s—it's the same root as 'bravado'—so calling someone's courageous act a 'bravery' is etymologically calling it a kind of impressive display.
