Word Origin & Etymology

First recorded in the mid-16th century, formed from the Old English noun 'tīma' (meaning a limited space of time or season) combined with the privative suffix '-less'. Originally used to mean 'untimely' or 'premature', its modern sense of 'eternal' or 'unaffected by the passage of time' became predominant in the 19th century.
