Etymology

The word 'timelessly' is derived from the word 'timeless,' which originates from combining 'time' and the suffix '-less.' The term 'time' has its roots in Old English 'tīma,' which is closely related to the notion of measured periods. The suffix '-less' indicates a lack or absence of something. Thus, 'timeless' literally suggests an absence of time-related constraints - implying insignificance when it comes to temporal limits. The adverbial form 'timelessly' emerged to convey actions or states that embody this quality. The concept of timelessness has been a significant aspect of various forms of art and literature, as creators aim to achieve expressions that resonate beyond their immediate historical or cultural contexts.
