Unconquerable Courage: Invicta Virtus

by Glendon Tan

Is the adjective and noun combination "invictus virtus" grammatically correct? The intended meaning is "unconquerable courage" in description of a male character.


Hi Glendon,

Strangely enough, the Latin word for manliness or courage (virtūs, virtūtis) is feminine. So your Latin phrase needs the feminine form of the adjective: Invicta Virtus

Hope this helps, and thanks for asking a Latin teacher.

Sincerely,

John
