Root Explanation

Bloodlessness → It is formed from "blood" (from Old English "blōd", meaning the red fluid that circulates in the bodies of humans and animals) and "-lessness" (meaning without). The word "bloodlessness" refers to the state of being without blood.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-lessness') the vital 'fluid' ('blood') that sustains life — that's what bloodlessness means.
