seamless
UK: ˈsiːmləs | US: ˈsiːmləs
adj. without a seam; smooth or continuous in texture or appearance
adj. (figuratively) perfectly consistent or coherent; without gaps or interruptions
The word "seamless" combines "seam," derived from Old English sēam (a joining or stitching), and the suffix "-less," from Old English -lēas (meaning "without"). Originally used literally for fabrics or materials lacking visible seams, it later evolved metaphorically to describe anything uninterrupted or flawlessly integrated. The progression reflects a shift from physical craftsmanship (e.g., seamless garments) to abstract perfection (e.g., seamless workflow).
