Origin and Evolution of pulseless

First Known Use: 1601 year
Language of Origin: English
Story behind the word: The word 'pulseless' is derived from the combination of the root word 'pulse' and the suffix '-less'. 'Pulse' refers to the rhythmic beating of the heart, while '-less' indicates a lack or absence of something.
Evolution of the word: Originally used in the medical context to describe a person or condition without a detectable pulse, the term 'pulseless' has since been expanded to metaphorically describe situations or entities lacking vitality, energy, or movement.
