Root Explanation

Classless → It is formed from "class" (from Latin "classis", meaning a division or group) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "classless" means without a class or social division.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'group' or 'division' ('class') — that's what classless means.
