Edit
 Angus:" Why would that be? My explanation derives from consideration of the assumption that "courage" comes from the French "courage" which I believe might be "coeur" (heart) plus "age" (age). Thus having heart that is aged suggests one is capable of accomplishing, by example and inspiration or in extreme solitude, quite a different (and more noble, i.e. evolutionarily advanced) outcome than if one has learned one's pretence to it, bravado, at a New England prep school, Harvard, frat parties, and Flight School.
"

Sorry, I doubt that. No sale. I think in that French word construction, "-age" means something like "ness" (compare the German suffixes "-heit" or "-keit").

Example, "Schoenheit" --beauty. "Schoen" (nice) plus ness.

Due to this rough lurch in your post, I now need to go to the toilette.
