Without a future; lacking hope, prospects, or the possibility of continuation or development.
From future + -less suffix (Old English origin), meaning 'without'; expressing the absence of future potential.
This is one of those emotionally heavy words—futureless doesn't just mean 'in trouble,' it implies a kind of existential exhaustion where even possibility itself has been removed, which is why poets love it.
