mindlessness
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS); abstract quality or state functioning as a subject or predicate nominative. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "mindlessness" directly reflects the etymology (ἀ- "not" + νοῦς "mind") and preserves the abstract noun form in nominative feminine singular, expressing the state of being without mind or sound reason. |
