Grudgeless

/ˈɡrʌdʒləs/ adjective

Definition

Free from grudges; not holding resentment or ill will toward others.

Etymology

From 'grudge' plus '-less' (adjective suffix meaning without or lacking). This is a logical opposite formation in English.

Kelly Says

Being 'grudgeless' is incredibly rare—it requires a kind of emotional forgetting that neuroscience shows is genuinely difficult, since our brains are wired to remember wrongs and maintain social scorecards.
