Root Explanation

Bridgeless is formed from "bridge" (from Old English "brycg", meaning a structure built to span a physical obstacle) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "bridgeless" means without a bridge, indicating the absence of a structure that connects two points.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'bridge' as a structure that connects two places, and '-less' means without. So, 'bridgeless' helps you remember that it refers to a situation where there is no bridge to connect.
