Not the absence of fear, but the audacity to move while terrified anyway.
means Showing no fear, or behaving with bold courage in the face of danger or risk.
from A transparent English build: the Old English fǣr — meaning 'sudden danger, calamity, ambush' — bolted to the suffix -less, 'without.' So the word literally means 'without peril,' though it has long since shifted to describe the person facing the peril rather than its absence. That root fǣr is a cousin of German Gefahr ('danger'), and it's the same fear that simply meant 'danger' before it migrated inward to name the feeling that danger provokes.
