Etymology
The word soullessness comes from soul, meaning 'spirit' or the feeling that makes something alive, plus less, meaning 'without', and the ending -ness that makes it a word for a 'state'. So soullessness means being 'without' warmth, life, or human feeling, like a building, a book, or a person that feels empty and cold.
