Origin of the word senseless

"Senseless" comes from the combination of the Old English words "sēn" (meaning "to see") and "lēas" (meaning "without" or "lacking"). Initially, "senseless" referred to a lack of sight or the ability to perceive. However, its meaning evolved to encompass a broader lack of understanding, reason, or purpose. This shift reflects the concept that seeing and understanding are closely linked. Therefore, "senseless" today signifies a lack of meaning, logic, or reason, often associated with actions or situations that appear irrational or pointless.
