Dareful

/ˈdeɪrfəl/ adjective

Definition

Etymology

From 'dare' plus the adjective suffix '-ful' (meaning 'full of'). This archaic or poetic form emphasizes the abundant quality of daring behavior.

Kelly Says

This poetic word shows how English speakers once created more nuanced descriptions of courage—'dareful' suggests boldness as a defining characteristic rather than a single action.
