Valor typically means courage or bravery, especially in the face of danger or in battle. It can also refer to the value or worth of something in some contexts. Key senses:
- Personal bravery: strength of mind or spirit enabling a person to confront danger or difficult situations with firmness. This is the most common usage.
- Valor in value: historical or legal senses where valor can mean value or worth, though this usage is less common today.
Notes:
- In American English, valor is often spelled "valor" (as in American sources) and in British English you’ll see "valour."
- Related terms: courage, bravery, gallantry, heroism, intrepidity.
If you’d like, I can tailor this definition to a specific context (a dictionary, literature, or a historical example).
