valor defined
Valor is honor plus dignity. Itâs gallant bravery and strength, especially on the battlefield or in the face of danger. Saint George displayed valor when he finally slayed the dragon. Itâs a trait fit for a hero. Valor comes from the Latin valorem for âstrength, moral worth,â with the sense of âcourageâ added later. Valor is often displayed in the face of something designed to crush it, like a battle in a war, and it is often rewarded with the conferring of a medal.
