Definitions

Etymology: "Agendaless" is a straightforward compound: the noun "agenda," borrowed from Latin, where "agenda" is the plural of "agendum," meaning "things to be done," combined with the English suffix "-less," meaning "without." Put together, it describes something or someone without a list of things to be done, or, in the adjective's usual sense, without a predetermined goal. The noun "agenda" itself retains its Latin sense of "things to be done," and the modern meaning of a list of items for a meeting follows from that. The adjective takes the idea one step further, so that an agendaless outing or agendaless conversation is one that has no fixed purpose and is free to unfold as it goes.
