Root Explanation

Brimless is formed from "brim" (from Old English "brymm", meaning edge or border) and "-less" (meaning without). The word describes something that does not have an edge or border, particularly in reference to a hat or container.

Memory Tip

Think of 'brim' as the edge of something, and '-less' means without. So, brimless means without an edge.
