Word origin
The word 'motionless' originated from the combination of the word 'motion', meaning a change in position, and the suffix '-less', denoting the absence of something. It first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. Over time, 'motionless' has been used to describe situations or objects that lack movement or activity, emphasizing a sense of stillness or immobility.
