Having a big heart, generous, of extremely good nature
Etymology:
- In 16th century William Shakespeare used this expression. Suppose if a heart is made of gold, it would not allow the flow of blood but in the language of poets and literary people heart is considered more than just a pumping organ. It is to express deepest feelings, since gold is considered valuable so expressions like “good as gold”, “worth your weight in gold” and “the gold standard” suggest gold is of great value. So to have a gold heart suggests a person with kind, nice and generous nature.
