A: "Audacious" is a longer more complicated word!

The difference in meaning is slight and you could use both in most places but, to me bold means without fear but audacious suggests to me some sort of novel, innovative, advance or attack, or plan.

He boldly went back to the pub where he had been beaten up (bold as brass). (〇）
He audaciously went back to be pub where he had been beaten up. (△)

You could say that the latter, doing the same thing again, was audacious, because the second time is not the same as the first time but audacious is often used with plans, and strategies, and attacks that are not only fearless but also unexpected, novel, adventurous.


I usually don't answer these sort of questions because, in the vast majority of cases the difference is so slight that most natives would not know a difference and so if you worry about it (as my students are always doing) you may end up not using either word (like my students). In 99% of cases, if you don't know the difference then the difference is tiny and you can use either, and if you are taught that a difference exists then you may worry about it and not use either word. It is therefore I think best not to know of a difference, I think.

A: “Audacious” and “daring” are interchangeable, but “audacious” has a more negative connotation since it can also mean being disrespectful.
Ex. My younger brother is very daring around the cattle. He’s going to get hurt if he isn’t careful.
Vs.
The business man’s decision to move forward with the sale despite his boss’s hesitance was audacious to say the least.

“Cocky” means someone who perceives themselves to be more important than they really are, and this is usually done in a disrespectful (audacious) way.
Ex. Mark was acting cocky around the the boss’s son by accident because he thought the young man was an assistant.

All three words are closely linked together, but they each have their own nuance and differences.

A: "Bold" describes an action that requires courage.　"Bold" can also describe the person doing the action.
"Audacious" is "extremely bold." "Audacious" can also describe the person.
