Etymology: From Middle English soulelez; equivalent to soul + -less. Compare Old English sāwollēas; the Middle English word likely is a re-formation.

  1. As if without a soul; insensitive, unfeeling.

    “Go backe I warrant thee: but Ile catch thine eyes / Though they had wings. Slaue, Soule-leſſe, Villain, Dog. / O rarely baſe!”

    “Oh! who young Leila's glance could read / And keep that portion of his creed / Which saith, that woman is but dust, / A soulless toy for tyrant's lust?”
