The verb "to daunt" means to cause someone to lose courage. "I was daunted by the height of the mountain I was to climb" means that looking at the mountain made me lose the courage to climb it. But someone who is dauntless cannot be discouraged or frightened. It is therefore an appropriate term to describe the faction of that name in Veronica Roth's novel, which was adapted into the movie. All of the faction names use words which are a little unusual, and will expand the vocabulary of the intended young adult readership.
