History and etymology of mindless

The adjective 'mindless' has its roots in the Old English word 'myndelēas,' which can be broken down etymologically into two components. The first part, 'mynde,' derives from the Old English word 'gemynd,' meaning 'mind' or 'memory.' The suffix '-lēas' signifies 'lacking' or 'devoid of.' Therefore, 'mindless' etymologically conveys the idea of being devoid of a functioning mind or consciousness, reflecting a state without thought, awareness, or consciousness.
