Where does seamless come from?
The first records of the term seamless come from the late 1400s. It combines the term seam, meaning “the line formed by sewing together cloth,” and the suffix –less, meaning “without.”
Seamless is usually used to describe clothing or other fabric works, such as curtains or rugs. Oftentimes there is a seam found where two pieces of cloth were sown together to create the item, such as shirts and dresses. When one of these items is seamless, it is often seen as being of higher quality.
In the figurative sense, seamless is used in several contexts. In film and other visual media, the cuts between shots can often be jumpy. So when the transition between shots is described as seamless, it is a compliment to the editing team. It can be used to describe a combination or crossover, as in The seamless transition from comedy to drama is why his acting chops are so well revered.
