Word of the Day
What's intrepidity?
(in trə pid' ə tē)
Toughness and bravery. Intrepid behavior means that you go forth without trepidation (fear).
However, in my thoughts I could not sufficiently wonder at the intrepidity of these diminutive mortals, who durst venture to mount and walk upon my body, while one of my hands was at liberty, without trembling at the very sight of so prodigious a creature as I must appear to them.
