Etymology
Timelessness comes from time, -less (meaning 'without') and -ness (meaning 'state'), so it literally means the 'state of being without time'. That's why people use timelessness to describe a feeling of 'eternity' or an existence beyond time, as in some religious or philosophical ideas about the afterlife.
