braveness
Courage under fire
Braveness is the quality of being brave—courage in the face of danger, pain, or difficulty.
The word is grammatically correct but rarely used; bravery is the standard noun form: His bravery impressed everyone.
Braveness appears occasionally but sounds awkward to most ears.
