Valorous - a podcast by Word of the Day

"Alexa, open Volley FM"

Today’s word of the day is valorous, V-A-L-O-R-O-U-S. Valorous is an adjective that means brave. 

The Latin word valor (val OR) means ‘to be strong.’ From that we get our word of the day. But be warned, this is a word that historically referred to warriors in battle. It’s not to be used lightly.

I laughed when I heard Richard describe himself as valorous. It seems to me that taking on a stray cat doesn’t require that much bravery. 

Valorous is spelled V-A-L-O-R-O-U-S.
