The root of "none the less" or "never the less" might be "no less" or "no less than", with "none" being tangible and "never" being temporal.
It seems to be a comparative phrase. It is usually used in the second half of a sentence after a comma (like the word "but" or "even though").
"None the less" is probably often mis-used:
"He's having a hard time learning english, none the less he is very smart."
sounds better as . . .
"He's having a hard time learning english, but he is very smart none the less."
and the possible root term . . .
"He's having a hard time learning english, but he is no less smart for it."

Commonly held expectations such as going at it right away with limited foreplay, keeping clothing from getting rumbled and watching that there aren't any noticeable sex stains anywhere on you when you are finished. Also applies to hotel employees not asking people checking in at noon if they have any luggage, need a dinner reservation or a late check out.
