Etymology
Dauntlessly comes from the verb daunt, an old word meaning 'to tame or frighten', plus the ending -less meaning 'without'. The same root is behind words like dominate and domesticate, from an old Latin idea of 'taming', so to act dauntlessly is to be 'without being tamed or frightened', meaning brave and without fear.
