Root Explanation

Faultless → It is formed from "fault" (from Old French *faulte*, meaning a defect or error) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "faultless" means without fault or error.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') any 'defect' ('fault') — that's why faultless means perfect or without mistakes.
