In a brave way; with the strength to do something difficult or frightening despite fear.
From Old French 'corageus,' derived from 'corage' (courage), which comes from Latin 'cor' meaning 'heart.' Courage was literally seen as something from the heart or heart-centered.
The word 'courage' literally comes from the Latin word for 'heart'—so courageously is doing something heart-fully! This ties directly to why we still talk about 'taking heart' or having a 'good heart' when we mean someone is brave or kind.
