different between doughty vs daring

English

Etymology

The adjective is derived from Middle English doughti, dou?ty (“brave, bold, valiant; fierce, strong; bold warrior; excellent, honourable, noble, worthy; handsome, splendid; excellent or worthy person”) [and other forms], from Old English dohti?, dyhti? (“competent, doughty, good, strong, valiant”), from Proto-West Germanic *duht?g, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *d?ewg?- (“to produce (something useful); to be strong, have force”). The English word may be analysed as dought +? -y, and is cognate with Danish dygtig (“virtuous, proficient”), Dutch duchtig (“severe, strict”), German tüchtig (“capable, competent, efficient; big; hard”), Icelandic dygðugur (“virtuous, stable”), Scots douchty, douchtie (“bold, valiant”), Swedish duktig (“efficient; good; capable, clever, smart”).

The noun is derived from the adjective.
