Definition of colorless

colorlessadjective

không màu

/ˈkʌlələs//ˈkʌlərləs/

"Colorless" is a combination of the Old English words "cēol" (meaning "cold, chill") and "lēas" (meaning "without, lacking"). The word originally referred to something lacking in warmth or vibrancy, not just color. Over time, "cēol" shifted to "color" and the meaning evolved to specifically describe the absence of color. By the 14th century, "colorless" held its current definition, emphasizing the lack of visual hue.
