The capless bottle design makes it easier to pour without removing a cap.

I just got this new bottle, but it's capless.

Really? How does that work?

It has a push mechanism instead of a cap, so it's easier to use.

That sounds convenient! I hate when caps get lost.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Capless → It is formed from "cap" (from Latin "caput", meaning head) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "capless" means without a cap or head covering.

Memory Tip

Think of 'cap' as a head covering and '-less' meaning without — so capless means without a cap.
