What is the origin of the phrase it takes a lot of guts?
this is a more modern expression of the medieval phrase 'to have the stomach for...' some task; the stomach and heart being more or less taken as one. This phrase may certainly be found in various places in Shakespearian plays and, in the same era, Queen Elizabeth is reputed to have said 'though i have the body of a weak and feeble woman, i have the heart and stomach of a king, and a king of England too'. one might infer that as courage was mostly needed on the battlefield, if one had the stomach - ie could refrain from losing its contents by vomiting - for the fight one was courageous.
