Nerve audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Nerve" — noun, pronounced /nɜːv/, with the stress on "nerve".
Narrator: A nerve is a bundle of fibres carrying signals between the brain and body, or courage.
Narrator: In plain English, a nerve carries signals — like a nerve in your hand, or having the nerve to do something.
Narrator: It comes from the Latin nervus, meaning a sinew or nerve, from the Greek neuron.
Narrator: "A nerve in" describes a fibre carrying signals, like a nerve in the arm.
Narrator: It differs from courage because nerve can mean anatomy or boldness, whereas courage is only bravery.
Narrator: "To have the nerve to" is a sense meaning to have the audacity or courage to do something.
Narrator: Anatomy, medicine, psychology, everyday speech and description all rely on the word nerve.
Narrator: So remember: a nerve is a fibre or courage, from the Latin for a sinew.
