Etymology: "Boundarylessness" is a simple construction: the adjective "boundaryless", meaning without boundaries, with the suffix "-ness" attached to turn it into a noun naming the quality or state of being so. "Boundary" itself comes from the older "bounder", a term for a limit or landmark, and the "-less" suffix, from Old English "-leas", marks the absence of whatever comes before it. Stacking these pieces yields a word for the condition of having no edges at all. The "-ness" ending is one of English's most productive ways of forming abstract nouns from adjectives. It is the same ending found in "kindness" or "darkness", and it allows speakers to name a quality as a thing in itself. Because "boundaryless" is already a modern-sounding descriptive adjective, the noun built from it tends to appear in discussions of organizations, markets, and borders, where the absence of limits is the point being described.
