The man with skill and courage (5)
I believe the answer is:
heart
'courage' is the definition.
(I know that heart is a type of courage)
'the man with skill' is the wordplay.
'the man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'he'+'art'='HEART'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for heart that I've seen before include "Playing card - pity" , "Vital part" , "Muscular organ for blood circulation" , "Centre; valour" , "Earth (anag) -- compassion" .)
