Etymology

The word 'nothingness' originated from the Middle English 'no thingnesse', combining the negative 'no' with 'thing' and the suffix '-ness'. It has been used in philosophical discourse to describe the concept of non-being or absence of existence. Existentialist thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche have delved into the implications of nothingness in human life and consciousness.
