Etymology of REASONLESS

The word "reasonless" is derived from the combination of two elements: "reason" and the suffix "-less".

The term "reason" comes from the Middle English word "resoun", which can be traced back to the Old French word "raison" and the Latin word "ratio". The concept of reason refers to the faculty of the mind that enables logical and rational thinking, the ability to draw conclusions or make judgments based on evidence and logic.

The suffix "-less" is of Old English origin and is used to form adjectives indicating the absence or lack of something. In this case, the suffix "-less" added to "reason" creates the adjective "reasonless", which means lacking or devoid of reason or logical explanation.
