Limitless

/ˈlɪmɪtləs/ adjective

Definition

Without any limits or boundaries; extending infinitely or endlessly.

Etymology

Formed from 'limit' (from Latin 'limitare,' meaning to bound or confine) plus the suffix '-less' (meaning without). The combination literally means 'without limits' and emerged in English around the 16th century.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-less' is so powerful that it turns almost any noun into an adjective meaning the opposite—but 'limitless' is especially poetic because it's a double negation: 'without' the thing that means 'without boundaries.'
