The word peaceless originates from Middle English, where it was spelled as peesles. It is derived from the combination of two elements: pe(n)se, meaning peace, and the suffix -less, denoting the absence or lack of something. Over time, the word evolved and the spelling shifted to its current form, peaceless.
