Censureless

/ˈsɛnʃərləs/ adjective

Definition

Free from censure or blame; not subject to disapproval or criticism.

Etymology

From censure (from Latin censura, judgment/assessment) plus the suffix -less (lacking). Meaning evolved from 'lacking official disapproval' to the general sense of being blameless or beyond reproach.

Kelly Says

A censureless life sounds perfect, but it's nearly impossible—historically, even saints and heroes faced criticism, which shows that the greatest achievements often come with controversy attached.
