Word origin

The word 'joylessly' is derived from the word 'joyless', which originated in the late 14th century from the Middle English word 'joiles', meaning 'lacking joy'. The suffix '-ly' was added to create the adverb form. Over the centuries, the word has been used to describe actions or behaviors that are devoid of joy or happiness, reflecting a sense of sadness or unhappiness.
