unhesitant

/ʌnhˈɛzɪtənt/ adj

Lacking hesitation; not hesitant

Word Origin 'Hesitant' from Latin 'haerere' meaning 'to stick, cling' — so to hesitate is to stick, to be stuck in indecision. 'Unhesitant' adds 'un-' (not), so not sticking, decisive, literally 'not sticking, flowing freely.' The same root gives us 'adhere' (stick to), 'cohere' (stick together), 'inherent' (sticking in), and 'hesitation' (the act of sticking). The PIE *gwher- also gave us 'grasp' and 'grip.'
