Etymology: "Questionlessly" is a plain formation: the adjective "questionless," meaning without question or doubt, with the adverbial suffix "-ly" attached. "Questionless" itself is built from "question" and the suffix "-less," which means "without," so the adverb describes doing something in a way free of any doubt or inquiry. Its meaning follows directly from those parts. The "-less" and "-ly" pieces are both old English elements that were used freely to build new words, which is why the adverb can be formed without any special history of its own. Its sense rests on the same logic as the older word "questionless," so the word offers little beyond its transparent construction.

Synonyms: certainly, undoubtedly, unquestionably
