Word origin
The adverb 'passionlessly' is derived from the word 'passionless', which originated in the late 16th century. The suffix '-ly' is added to the adjective 'passionless' to form the adverb 'passionlessly'. The word 'passionless' itself comes from the combination of 'passion' (from the Latin 'passio' meaning 'suffering' or 'enduring') and the suffix '-less' (indicating without). The concept of acting or behaving without passion has been a subject of literary and philosophical discourse for centuries, exploring themes of emotional detachment and indifference.
