Etymology
The word 'deathlessly' is formed from the root 'death,' which comes from the Old English 'deað' meaning 'the end of life,' combined with the suffix '-less,' implying the absence of something. The concept of being 'deathless' emerges from various cultural and philosophical ideologies that explore the nature of existence and the human desire to escape the finality of death. Historically, many mythologies have depicted gods and heroes who possess the gift of immortality, leading to the broader adoption of the term in literary and poetic texts. The suffix '-ly' converts the adjective 'deathless' into an adverb, creating a versatile term that can be used in literary works to evoke images of everlasting essence or the pursuit of eternal life.
