Origin and Evolution of beardless

First Known Use: 1250 year

Language of Origin: Old English

Story behind the word: The word 'beardless' originated from Old English, where 'beard' referred to facial hair. The prefix 'be-' signifies absence, thus creating the term 'beardless' to describe someone without facial hair.

Evolution of the word: Over time, 'beardless' has retained its original meaning of lacking a beard but has also been extended metaphorically to describe someone who is young, inexperienced, or lacking maturity.
