Courage comes from the latin word 'cor' which means heart. The present active infinitive in vide, passive is videte

The active infinitive for video is videre, and the passive infinitive is videri. Vide and videte are the singular and plural imperatives. Courage is derived from Latin through the French word for heart, hence the spelling.
