stouthearted

Bold and resolute

Stouthearted means brave and resolute, possessing courage that doesn't waver under pressure.

The word combines physical robustness (stout) with the heart as seat of courage: a stouthearted leader who rallied the troops.

It carries an old-fashioned, almost literary quality, suggesting sturdy rather than flashy heroism.
