Etymology
The word nervelessly comes from nerve, a word that long ago meant 'strength' and now can mean the body's nerves or 'courage', plus -less meaning 'without' and -ly which makes it describe how something is done. So to act nervelessly is to act 'without shaky nerves', calm and steady under pressure.
