The word "favorless" can be broken down into two parts: "favor" and "less".
The word "favor" originated from the Latin word "favorem", which means "partiality" or "kindness". It evolved into the Old French word "favor", which meant "favour" or "support". Eventually, the word made its way into English around the 14th century with similar meanings.
The suffix "-less" is derived from the Old English word "-lēas", meaning "without" or "lacking". It has been used in English to form negative or opposite words since around the 15th century.
So, combining "favor" and "-less", the word "favorless" was formed to mean "without favor" or "lacking support or kindness".
