Root Explanation

Juiceless → It is formed from "juice" (from Old French *jus*, meaning liquid extracted from fruits or vegetables) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "juiceless" means without juice or lacking moisture.

Memory Tip

Think of 'juice' as the liquid that makes things moist, and when something is 'juiceless', it means it lacks that moisture.
