Root Explanation

Timelessness → It is formed from "time" (from Old English "tima", meaning a period or duration) and "-less" (meaning without) and "-ness" (meaning a state or quality). The word "timelessness" refers to the state of being without time or not affected by the passage of time.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') 'time' — that's why timelessness means a state that is not affected by time.
