Root Explanation

Doubtlessness → It is formed from "doubt" (from Old French *douter*, meaning to fear or be uncertain) and "-lessness" (meaning without). The word "doubtlessness" means the state of being without doubt or certainty.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-lessness') any 'fear or uncertainty' ('doubt') — that's what doubtlessness means.
