the.com/heart
the muscle that beats 100,000 times a day and never once asks for a break
means The muscular organ in the chest that pumps blood through the body, and by long extension the seat of one's emotions, courage, and deepest self.
from From Old English 'heorte,' tracing back to a Proto-Germanic root (compare German 'Herz,' Dutch 'hart') and ultimately the Proto-Indo-European root '*kerd-,' which also gives us Latin 'cor' (as in 'cordial' and 'courage') and Greek 'kardia' (the source of all our 'cardio-' words). So nearly every language's word for this organ beats to the same ancient drum.
