unfearing

Showing no alarm

Unfearing means without fear—bold, undaunted, courageous.

The word describes someone who faces danger or difficulty without being afraid: She gave an unfearing account of the corruption she had witnessed.

It's a literary alternative to fearless, less common but carrying the same sense of brave composure.
