Pick for courage (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pluck

I believe this is a double definition.

'pick' is the first definition.
(I know that pick can be written as pluck)

'courage' is the second definition.
(I know that pluck is a type of fearlessness)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pluck that I've seen before include "Courage - defeather" , "Remove feathers" , "Play a guitar - prepare a chicken for the pot" , "Pull out; bottle" , "Courage - play a harp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
