Etymology
The word 'brainlessly' derives from the combination of 'brainless,' an adjective meaning lacking intelligence or common sense, and the suffix '-ly,' which indicates manner. 'Brainless' itself emerged in the early 20th century, describing something or someone devoid of thought or reason, with roots going back to the word 'brain,' which refers to the organ responsible for thought and processing information. The use of '-ly' to convert adjectives into adverbs is a common morphological transformation in English, allowing for the expression of an action being performed in a certain manner. The concept of acting without brains signifies a negative connotation, often pointing to the unintentional folly of individuals who do not carefully consider their choices or actions.
