Not affected by time; permanent, eternal, or always remaining fresh and relevant rather than becoming outdated.
From 'time' (Old English 'tima') plus the suffix '-less' (without). A straightforward compound that emerged in Middle English to describe things seemingly beyond time's effects.
Some designs, songs, and stories genuinely seem immune to aging—think of a Chanel suit or 'The Beatles'—but 'timeless' reveals our human bias: we call things timeless simply because they haven't gone out of style *yet*. Nothing is truly timeless; it just hasn't felt old enough to be old.
