Why is it called lossless?

I was wondering about the term 'lossless'. I want to know why it is called that way. What is the reason or background behind naming it 'lossless'? Is it because there's no loss of quality or data in the process? Why is it called lossless?

When a file undergoes lossless compression, it is compressed in a way that allows it to be fully restored to its original form.

After being compressed and then uncompressed, a file remains identical to its original version.

The term "lossless" is used to describe this type of compression because it guarantees the integrity of the original file.
