Longue queue: rang de « herzlos » en français
Rare enough to double-check
herzlos is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \ˈhɛʁt͡sˌloːs\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Cruel, sans cœur, impitoyable.".
herzlos doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable French patterns. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct French form is herzlos, spelled H-E-R-Z-L-O-S.
