Etymology

The word 'timeless' originated from the combination of 'time' and the suffix '-less', indicating the absence of time constraints. It first appeared in the English language in the late 16th century. Over time, 'timeless' has come to represent something that is enduring and not limited by the passage of time, gaining popularity for its ability to describe things that are classic, eternal, and unchanging.
