Root Explanation

Horizonless → It is formed from "horizon" (from Old French *orizont*, meaning the line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "horizonless" means without a horizon or lacking a visible boundary between earth and sky.

Memory Tip

Think of a line where the earth meets the sky ('horizon') and remember that 'horizonless' means without that line.
