Description

Imagine the vastness of space, stretching on and on in every direction. That is the feeling this word gives. It describes something that seems to have no boundaries, no restrictions, or no clear end. A child's imagination is often described this way, full of ideas and possibilities. You might also say a loving parent has this kind of patience or forgiveness.

The word suggests great freedom and huge potential. In real life, things are rarely truly without limits, so the word is often used for emphasis. When someone talks about "limitless opportunities," they usually mean there are many chances open to them.
