名詞

audācia f (genitive audāciae); first declension

2. Daring, intrepidity; courage, valor, confidence; a daring or courageous action.

   Synonyms: animōsitās, cōnfīdentia, virtūs

3. Daring, audacity, impetuosity, impudence, recklessness, rashness, presumption, insolence, temerity; a reckless or audacious action.

   Synonym: temeritās

   • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations 1:

     Quem ad fīnem sēsē effrēnāta iactābit audācia?

     To what end will your unbridled audacity flaunt itself?

使用する際の注意点

Audācia only properly renders a sense of courage, valor or confidence in connection to risk-taking; when used in these senses there is a quality of reckless action implied. To render "courage" in the sense of an innate human quality, animōsitās is better. To render confidence in a similar sense, use cōnfīdentia.
