I have this sentence in my flashcards, which I pulled from a JLPT textbook of
mine a while back. Long enough ago that I've lost the source. It looks strange
to me now, though, and I wonder if maybe I copied it down wrong:

> ためらいもはず告白{こくはく}した

I believe it means, "didn't hesitate to confess (my) feelings."

Because `はず` is in there, I think it implies that it was expected that the
speaker ordinarily might have hesitated, but managed to confess anyway.
Shouldn't it be:

> ためらいもはずけど告白{こくはく}した

... or...

> ためらいもはずが、告白{こくはく}した

... or something like that? Without some kind of "but..." or "although..."
type of connection to glue the sentence together, it seems half formed to me.

Is the original sentence complete? If so, what am I missing about the grammar
that makes it complete? If not, how should it be completed?

question
grammar
Is this sentence using はず complete?
[もはず](http://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%82%82%E3%81%AF%E3%81%9A) is a word by
itself.

The sentence means "I confessed without hesitation".

As explained in the comments, there is big chances the sentence is miss-typed.
I personally think the sentence would originally be `ためらいもせず告白した`.
