deathlessness

/ˈdɛθləsnəs/ noun

The state of being deathless; eternity; immortality.

Word Origin From death + -less (without) + -ness (state) — literally 'the state of being without death.' The root death goes back to Proto-Germanic dauþuz and PIE *dʰew- 'to die,' which also gives us dead and die. The suffix -less is a common way to form opposites: endless, hopeless, careless. Deathlessness is a grand concept, often used poetically for immortality.
