The root would likely be "pense," which means to pay over or give someone or something its fair value, as in the English words, compensate - to pay what is justly due, and recompense - to repay for harm done. Further, we see it slightly changed in the British "Pence," a monetary unit, which is, of course, used to pay for things. So pensive, meaning now deep in thought, would have had basically the same meaning at its origin as it does now, just phrased differently - to pay full attention to some matter, in this case with one's mind.
The word "pensive" comes from the Latin word "pensare," meaning to weigh or consider. This origin ties in with the contemporary meaning of the word, which describes someone in deep thought or reflection. The evolution of the word reflects its connection to introspection and contemplation.

I can see why the word thoughtless might seem to be an antonym for pensive, since a pensive person thinks a lot and a thoughtless person doesn't, however, thoughtlessness is really about irresponsibility, it is not really about thought in general. The opposite of thoughtless is thoughtful or responsible, not pensive. The opposite of pensive would be spontaneous, or glib.
Lost in thought, she gazed out the window with a pensive expression on her face.
