Root Explanation

Fatless → It is formed from "fat" (from Old English "fǣtt", meaning the greasy substance in animals) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "fatless" means without fat or lacking fat.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') the 'greasy substance' ('fat') — that's why fatless means lacking fat.
