Root Explanation

Dewless is formed from "dew" (from Old English *deaw*, meaning moisture or condensation) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "dewless" means without dew or lacking moisture.

Memory Tip

Think of 'dew' as moisture and '-less' meaning without — so dewless describes a state of being without moisture.
