faultlessly

/ˈfɔlt.ləs.li/ adv

In a faultless manner.

Word Origin Faultlessly combines fault (from Latin fallere 'to deceive, fail') with -less and -ly. Fault originally meant a failing or defect, something deceptive. The same root gives us failure, false, and fallacious. So faultlessly means 'without any failing.' The -less suffix (from Proto-Germanic lausaz 'loose, devoid of') emphasizes the absence. Infallible (in- 'not' + fallere) is a close cousin.
