Usage notes
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.
