Definition of meaninglessness

meaninglessnessnoun

sự vô nghĩa

/ˈmiːnɪŋləsnəs//ˈmiːnɪŋləsnəs/

The word "meaninglessness" has its roots in the 14th century. It is a derivative of the Old French word "senseless", which was influenced by the Latin phrase "sensus" meaning "sense" or "mind". The Latin phrase was used to describe something that was without sense or meaning. The word "meaninglessness" itself first appeared in the 15th century, and it referred to the state of being without purpose or significance. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include not only the lack of purpose, but also the notion of something being absurd, irrational, or devoid of any logical or rational explanation. Today, the word "meaninglessness" is used to describe the existential crisis that arises when one's sense of purpose or identity is threatened, or when they are faced with the uncertainty and unpredictability of life.
