Etymology

The word 'spotlessly' derives from the adjective 'spotless', which originates from the combination of 'spot' and 'less'. The term 'spot' itself comes from Old English 'splott', meaning a blemish, stain, or mark. The suffix '-less', which means 'without', was added to convey the absence of spots or blemishes. The usage of 'spotless' dates back to the early 16th century, and the corresponding adverb 'spotlessly' emerged later, as a way to express the manner in which something can be done that involves cleanliness or purity. Thus, when something is described as being done 'spotlessly', it emphasizes not just cleanliness but a high standard of care in the cleaning process.
