Fameless

/ˈfeɪmləs/ adjective

Definition

Lacking fame; unknown, obscure, or not celebrated or recognized.

Etymology

From 'fame' plus the suffix '-less,' meaning 'without.' This is a standard English formation creating the opposite of 'famous' or 'fameful.'

Kelly Says

History is packed with fameless geniuses whose brilliant ideas were stolen, forgotten, or never published—making 'fameless' a deeply tragic word that reminds us that great minds don't always get credited!
