Definition

Fearless is an adjective that describes an individual or entity who exhibits a lack of fear, showing courage and bravery in the face of danger, adversity, or uncertainty. It refers to someone who is not easily frightened or cowed, displaying an unwavering attitude even in challenging or high-stress situations.
A fearless person demonstrates an absence of apprehension and anxiety, often seen as bold and daring as they approach circumstances that may elicit fear in others. While fear may be a natural human response to potential harm or risk, the fearless embrace danger or difficulty with confidence, resilience, and a determined spirit.
Fearlessness is often associated with an individual's ability to confront their fears head-on, whether physical, emotional, or psychological, and take calculated risks. Such individuals are not easily swayed by doubts or uncertainties, but instead confront situations with unwavering determination and poise.
This trait can be observed across various aspects of life, including personal relationships, professional endeavors, and even in acts of heroism. Fearlessness is not the absence of fear, but the ability to move past it. It highlights a strength of character and an innate or cultivated resilience in the face of adversity, making it a highly valued quality in individuals who possess it.

Etymology of FEARLESS
The word "fearless" originates from the combination of two elements:
1. "Fear", which dates back to Old English as "fǣr" and later Middle English as "fere". It refers to an intense feeling of apprehension or an emotional response to danger or threat.
2. The suffix "-less", derived from Old English "-lēas", indicates the absence or lack of a particular quality or state. In this sense, it denotes freedom from or the lack of fear.
By combining these elements, the word "fearless" came into existence, resulting in the contemporary meaning of being without fear, showing courage, or being brave.
