Etymology
The word 'restless' originated from the Middle English word 'resteles', which was a combination of 'reste' meaning 'rest' and the suffix '-les' meaning 'without'. This reflects the idea of being without rest or unable to rest. Over time, the word evolved to its current form in Modern English, retaining its core meaning of being unable to rest or relax.
