Root Explanation

Colorlessness → It is formed from "color" (from Latin "color", meaning hue or pigment) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "colorlessness" means the state of being without color or hue.

Memory Tip

Think of 'color' as the hue you see, and '-less' means without — so colorlessness is the absence of color.
