valorous

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   having or showing great courage, especially in the face of danger

   The chronicler praised the soldiers' valorous defense of the bridge.

Borrowed from Old French valeureux ('brave, worthy'), built on valeur ('worth, courage') and ultimately related to Latin valere ('to be strong, be worthy'). English valorous therefore shares its history with valor and valiant.
