- boundless; immeasurable; unceasing
Meaning
The Moirai, Earth’s floor, Helios’s whirling course and the thunderbolt’s rushing sound all receive this adjective. Extension is spatial for the ground, but can concern the reach or continued force of motion and sound. “Boundless” is a useful common cue, provided the actual noun supplies the scale of the claim.
