Etymology
Curajos is built from the noun curaj, meaning courage, which Romanian borrowed from French courage during the 19th-century wave of French loanwords. The adjective is formed with the native suffix -os, which comes from Latin -osus and means full of or characterized by. So curajos literally means full of courage.
