Root Explanation

Deathlessness is formed from "death" (from Old English "deað", meaning the end of life) and "-lessness" (meaning without). The word refers to the state of being without death or the absence of death.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-lessness') the 'end of life' ('death') — that's what deathlessness means.
