Etymology

The word 'recipientless' is a modern term derived from the combination of 'recipient' and the suffix '-less'. It first appeared in the late 20th century with the rise of electronic communication, referring to messages or communication that lack a specific recipient. The concept of recipientless communication has become more prevalent in the digital age, where information can be shared widely without a specific target in mind.
