Although now “brave” most commonly means “courageous or fearless in a positive sense, historically it meant “wild” or “uncivilized.” The English word comes from the French, who got it from Italian bravo, which came from Latin barbarus, which is the same source as the English word “barbarous,” as in “barbarians.” Pretty wild!
