Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Selfless" — adjective, pronounced /ˈsɛlflɪs/, with the stress on "sel".
Narrator: Selfless means concerned more with the needs of others than with one's own.
Narrator: In plain English, a selfless person puts others first — like a nurse who works through the night to care for patients.
Narrator: It comes from the word self, meaning oneself, plus the suffix less, meaning without.
Narrator: "A selfless act" describes an action done for others' benefit, not one's own.

Narrator: Ethics, healthcare, volunteering and literature all rely on the word selfless.
Narrator: So remember: selfless means without self, from self and less.
