Root Explanation
Deathless → It is formed from "death" (from Old English "deað", meaning the end of life) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "deathless" means without death or immortal.
Memory Tip
Think of being 'without' ('-less') 'death' — that's why deathless means to be immortal or not subject to death.
