What
Hi,
There is a saying: He has what it takes, where what it takes is the object of the verb has and what is the object of the verb takes, as I understand that. My question is: does the pronoun what in such a context mean a high value of somebody's character, his inner strength, etc.?
Thank you.

'What' carries no specific meaning at all: 'He has whatever it takes' is the same.
