Etymology
The term 'shapelessly' is derived from the word 'shapeless', which itself is a combination of 'shape' and the suffix '-less'. The word 'shape' comes from Old English 'sceap', which denotes the form or outline of an object. The suffix '-less' indicates the absence of something. Therefore, 'shapeless' literally means without shape. The adverbial form 'shapelessly' emerged to describe the manner in which something is done or exists without a defined shape. The use of 'shapelessly' has evolved in English literature and art to convey not just physical formlessness but also abstract ideas and emotions, reflecting themes of uncertainty and fluidity in various creative expressions.
