Easeless

/ˈiːzləs/ adjective

Definition

Without ease or comfort; lacking rest, relief, or freedom from difficulty; restless or uncomfortable.

Etymology

Formed from 'ease' with the negating suffix '-less' (Old English 'les' meaning 'without'). Creates an antonym to comfortable states, emphasizing the absence of relief.

Kelly Says

While 'uneasy' is common, 'easeless' is its more poetic sibling—it sounds like something from a Victorian novel describing someone wracked with guilt or worry!
