Did you see that guy at the party last night?

Yeah, I did! He looked so beltless in those baggy pants.

Right? I can't believe he didn't wear a belt.

I guess some people just don't mind it, but it looked a bit strange.

Root Explanation

Beltless → It is formed from "belt" (from Old English "belt", meaning a strip of material worn around the waist) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "beltless" means without a belt.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'belt' — that's what beltless means.
