We have a lot of words for "courage" and "fortitude," but moxie is one of our favorites. The word started out as the name of a 19th-century soft drink that claimed to boost your nerve, but moxie was so catchy that people began using it to describe boldness of every flavor. If you're powering through a challenge or standing up for what's right, you've got moxie.
Example: It takes a lot of moxie to start a new business.
