Morphology

unfearing = fearing (transparent) = un + fear + ing

'Un-' negates the participial adjective 'fearing'; the meaning 'not experiencing fear' follows standard English word-formation.

Etymology

Unfearing is made of un- 'not' and fear 'fear', so it pictures someone 'not feeling fear'. Think of it like unhappy or unfair: unfearing means showing no fear, or being brave.
