The word "sackless" is a term used in Scottish English to describe someone who lacks skill, talent, or courage. Its etymology can be traced back to Middle English and Old English.
The term originates from the Middle English word "sakles", which meant "innocent" or "free from guilt". This word was derived from the Old English word "sæclēas", which also meant "innocent" or "guiltless". The "sac" in both Middle English and Old English referred to "fault" or "crime", while "leas" meant "free" or "without".
Over time, the meaning of "sackless" evolved to refer to someone who is lacking in ability, skill, or courage, rather than innocence or guiltlessness.
