the trick of mattering after every clock that measured you has stopped ticking.
means The quality of being unaffected by the passage of time — either by lasting indefinitely or by belonging to no particular era.
from A straightforward English build: "time" (Old English tīma, a stretch or season of duration) plus the adjective-maker "-less" (Old English -lēas, meaning "without") plus the noun-maker "-ness." So at root it simply names the state of being "without time" — the suffixes stacking up like clock-parts removed one by one until nothing measures you anymore.
