Word origin

The word 'heedlessly' is derived from the adjective 'heedless,' which dates back to the 14th century. It combines the word 'heed,' meaning 'attention' or 'care,' with the suffix '-less,' indicating 'without.' Over time, 'heedlessly' evolved to its current form in the English language, maintaining its original meaning of acting without attention or care.
