Satisfied with story overlooking a display of courage (6)
I believe the answer is:
mettle
'display of courage' is the definition.
(someone's courage or character during hardship)
'satisfied with story overlooking a' is the wordplay.
'satisfied' becomes 'met' (as in 'met the conditions of his contract').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'story' becomes 'tale' (synonyms).
'overlooking' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'tale' with 'a' removed is 'tle'.
'met'+'tle'='METTLE'
(Other definitions for mettle that I've seen before include "Spirit, resilience" , "Pluck" , "boldness" , "Temperament; courage" , "The courage to carry on" .)
