An old spelling or variant of 'courage,' meaning bravery or the ability to face fear and danger.
From Old French 'corage' derived from Latin 'cor' (heart). This spelling was common in Middle English before standardization; the word literally meant 'the condition of the heart.'
People used to spell courage as 'corage,' and the whole word comes from 'cor' meaning heart—so originally courage was just 'having heart'! That's poetic.
