acting first and inventing the reasons later, a coin flip wearing a confidence costume
means The quality of acting hastily or without thinking through the consequences, of charging ahead where caution would be wiser.
from From 'rash,' meaning hasty or reckless, which comes through Middle English and is related to Old High German 'rasc' (hurried, swift) and similar words across the Germanic family — a cousin of the Dutch 'rasch' and Old Norse 'roskr' (brave, vigorous). The thread tying them together is speed: the rash person moves fast, and 'rashness' is simply that speed bottled up as a noun. (No relation, by the way, to the skin 'rash,' which arrived separately, probably from a Romance source meaning to scrape or scratch.)
