Definition
Without a compass; lacking direction or guidance, either literally or figuratively.
Etymology
From compass (an instrument for finding direction, from Old Italian 'compassare' meaning 'to pace out') + -less suffix. Compass evolved to mean both the navigational tool and, metaphorically, range or scope.
Kelly Says
Shakespeare and maritime writers loved 'compassless' to describe confused, direction-less states—it's a poetic way of saying 'lost' that works on both literal and emotional levels, making it a favorite of poets even though it's rare today.
