🌳Etymology
Origin
The word originated in Old English from the combination of 'ende' (end) and the adjective suffix '-less' (without). This formation reflects the negation of the concept of ending, creating a word that denotes something without termination or conclusion.
Breakdown
end (conclusion, terminus) + -less (without, lacking) = endless (without end or conclusion).
