First Known Use: 1601 year
Language of Origin: English
Story behind the word: The word 'topless' originated from the combination of the word 'top' meaning upper part or surface, and the suffix '-less' indicating without.
Evolution of the word: Originally used to describe something without a top or covering, 'topless' later evolved to refer to a person, usually a woman, without clothing covering the upper part of the body, particularly in the context of swimwear or nudity.
