Root Explanation

This word originates from the combination of 'past' (from Old English 'pæst', meaning the time that has gone by) and '-less' (meaning without). The word 'pastless' means without a past or lacking history.

Memory Tip

Think of 'past' as the time that has gone by and '-less' meaning without — so 'pastless' describes something that lacks a history.
