Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Fear वह भाव है जो ख़तरा पास आने पर आता है। 'ful' लगाइए तो fearful — डर से भरा; 'less' लगाइए तो fearless — बिना डर। उल्टा courage।

FEAR is the feeling that comes when danger is near. Add 'ful' and you are full of it (fearful); add 'less' and you have none (fearless). Courage is its opposite.
