Male with cunning and courage (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heart

'courage' is the definition.
(heart is a kind of courage)

'male with cunning' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'he'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'cunning' becomes 'art' (I've seen this before).
'he'+'art'='HEART'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for heart that I've seen before include "Playing card - pity" , "Earth (anag) -- compassion" , "Decorated (cake)" , "Centre; valour" , "Nucleus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
