He has skill and courage (5)
I believe the answer is:
heart
'courage' is the definition.
(I know that heart is a type of courage)
'he has skill' is the wordplay.
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'he'+'art'='HEART'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for heart that I've seen before include "bottle" , "Core; organ" , "Decorated (cake)" , "Kernel" , "Playing card - pity" .)
