'amoralism' originates from the prefix 'a-' meaning 'without' and the word 'moral,' which comes from Latin 'moralis,' meaning 'pertaining to manners.'

'amoralism' evolved from the combination of 'a-' and 'moral,' forming a term to describe the absence of moral considerations.

Initially, it meant 'without moral sense,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
