Just as "pious" is the adjective linked to the noun "piety", there is an archaic adjective "prow" (meaning valiant) linked to "prowess". But it's not a word you are likely to see in Modern usage.

The priest was pious. He showed his piety with prayer.
The sailor was ____. He showed his prowess by winning the race.
The spy was conspicuous. He showed his conspicuity to everyone he met.
The flu was contagious. It showed itself to be contagious after a single day.
It's English. Not every word changes forms like that, in fact, most don't. If you find the latin roots of words, sometimes you can relate them, especially in fields like botany. However, this can also be misleading. Words like Virtuous and Torturous sound the same at the end, but are they related by a common root? No.
