courage
Die innere Stärke, etwas zu tun, auch wenn man Angst hat oder unsicher ist.
The German word "Mut" is a noun that means "courage" or "bravery." It is derived from the Old High German word "muot," which signifies a sense of spirit or mind related to personal fortitude.
Similar words in German include "Tapferkeit" (bravery, valor) and "Wagemut" (daring).
While "Mut" generally refers to an internal sense of courage to confront challenges, "Tapferkeit" often emphasizes bravery in the face of danger (often used in military or heroic contexts), and "Wagemut" suggests a more adventurous form of courage, often implying a willingness to take risks.
