mindlessly

/ˈmaɪndɫəsɫi/ adv

Word Origin From 'mind' + -less 'without' + -ly, literally 'in a manner without mind.' Mindlessly means acting without thought. The -less suffix comes from Old English leas 'lacking,' and -ly from lic 'body, form' (originally meaning 'like'). So mindlessly is 'in a mindless way.'
