Did you see that new restaurant downtown?

Yes, I heard their food is amazing but a bit bibless for the kids.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'bibless' originates from Old English 'bibel' (meaning a book, specifically a Bible) combined with the suffix '-less' (meaning without). Therefore, 'bibless' means without a Bible or lacking a Bible.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'Bible' ('bibel') — that's what 'bibless' means.
