Did you see that movie last night?

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Soullessly → It is formed from "soul" (from Old English "sūl", meaning the immaterial essence of a person) and "-less" (meaning without) and "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "soullessly" means in a manner that is without soul or spirit, often implying a lack of emotion or humanity.

Memory Tip

Think of someone acting 'without' ('-less') their 'soul' — that’s why soullessly means doing something in a way that lacks spirit or emotion.
