Etymology

The word 'soullessly' is derived from the adjective 'soulless,' which dates back to the early 19th century. The root 'soul' originates from Old English 'sฤwol,' referring to the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being, believed to be immortal. The suffix '-less' denotes the absence of something, indicating that the subject in question lacks a soul or the qualities associated with it, such as warmth, emotion, or spirit. The transformation of the adjective into an adverb with the addition of '-ly' allows 'soullessly' to describe the manner in which actions are performed, emphasizing the detachment and the lack of emotional engagement in those actions. Over time, 'soulless' has found its place in various contexts, often in literary or critical discussions to evoke themes of alienation and dehumanization.
