Etymology

From 'depthless' plus '-ness,' a suffix that converts adjectives into abstract nouns. This layering of suffixes (-less + -ness) shows how English builds complexity from simple building blocks.

Kelly Says

This word stacks suffixes like building blocks: depth → depthless → depthlessness, each layer adding a new grammatical role—it's like linguistic Russian nesting dolls!
