greathearted
Generous in spirit
Greathearted describes someone with exceptional courage, generosity, or nobility of spirit.
The word combines both senses—a greathearted leader might show bravery in battle and magnanimity toward the defeated.
It's literary and somewhat old-fashioned: a greathearted hero, greathearted in victory.
