Word origin
The word 'weaponless' dates back to the 16th century and is derived from the combination of 'weapon' and the suffix '-less', meaning 'without'. In a society where weapons were often a symbol of power and protection, being weaponless could signify vulnerability or lack of defense. Over time, the word has come to represent the state of being without a weapon, often used in contexts of warfare, self-defense, or conflict.
