Innocent of causing death or bloodshed; not responsible for violence or loss of life.
From 'bloodguilt' + suffix '-less' (Old English -leas, without); negates the concept of guilt for bloodshed.
Shakespeare and Biblical texts use 'bloodguiltless' to describe characters who ceremonially or morally distance themselves from violence—like Pontius Pilate washing his hands—showing how guilt for bloodshed was believed to be something you could actually transfer or shed.
