Word origin
The word 'remorselessly' is derived from the word 'remorseless', which is formed by adding the suffix -less to the word 'remorse'. 'Remorse' comes from the Middle English word 'remors', which in turn comes from the Old French 'remors' and ultimately from the Latin 'remorsus', the past participle of 'remordere' meaning 'to vex, torment, eat away'. The concept of 'remorselessly' has been present in human behavior throughout history, often associated with acts of cruelty, indifference, or pursuit of personal gain without regard for others.
