Without haste; moving or done in a calm, unhurried manner without rush or urgency.
From Middle English 'haste' (quick movement) + suffix '-less' (without). The word combines Old Norse 'hasta' (to hasten) with the Germanic suffix indicating absence or lack of a quality.
This word is interesting because English has many different ways to say 'slow' or 'calm,' but 'hasteless' specifically emphasizes the *absence* of rushing rather than actual slowness—you could be hasteless while still moving at normal speed, as long as you're not frantic.
