Daunt rhymes with haunt, another word which means to frighten, though in a creepier sense. Walking through your neighbors’ haunted house on Halloween might daunt your little brother, even though he’s unlikely to encounter anything scarier than plastic skeletons and ghosts made of sheets. Daunt often shows up as part of the adjective undaunted, which describes someone who remains unafraid or perseveres in the face of scary circumstances.

“Daunt”与“haunt”押韵，这个词的意思是“害怕”，但含义更令人毛骨悚然。在万圣节穿过邻居的鬼屋可能会让你的弟弟感到害怕，尽管他不太可能遇到比塑料骷髅和床单制成的鬼魂更可怕的东西。 Daunt 通常作为形容词 undaunted 的一部分出现，它描述了一个人在面对可怕的情况时仍然不害怕或坚持不懈。

词源：
daunt(v.)c. 1300, daunten, “to vanquish, subdue, conquer” (a foe, rival, etc.), from Old French danter, variant of donter (12c., Modern French dompter) “be afraid of, fear, doubt; control, restrain,” from Latin domitare, frequentative of domare “to tame” (see tame (v.)).
The sense of “intimidate, subdue the courage of” is attested from early 14c. In Middle English it also could mean “tame” an animal, “soothe” a child, “quell” one’s temper. Related: Daunted; daunting.also from c. 1300
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
令人畏惧（v.）c。 1300，daunten，“征服、制服、征服”（敌人、竞争对手等），源自古法语 danter，donter 的变体（12c.，现代法语 dompter）“害怕、恐惧、怀疑；控制、抑制”，源自拉丁语 domitare，domare 的常见词“驯服”（参见 tame (v.)）。从14世纪早期起，“威吓，压制……的勇气”的含义就得到了证实。在中古英语中，它也可能意味着“驯服”动物，“安抚”孩子，“平息”人的脾气。相关： 畏惧；令人畏惧的。也来自c。 1300
