Langschwanz-Rang von „meaningless“ im Deutschen
Rare enough to double-check
meaningless is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed […]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "ohne Bedeutung, Wichtigkeit, Wert".
meaningless doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. This headword has no recorded confusable partner, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is meaningless, spelled M-E-A-N-I-N-G-L-E-S-S.
