Where does the word shamelessly come from?

"Shamelessly" traces its roots back to the Old English word "scēam", meaning "shame". Over time, "scēam" evolved into "shame" and then into "shameless". Adding the suffix "-ly" to "shameless" created the adverb "shamelessly," which denotes acting without regard for shame or embarrassment. So, the word's history reflects a gradual development from the feeling of shame to its absence.
