Conversation

I just bought a new fishing line that's totally knotless.

Oh, that's interesting! Does it really make a difference?

Definitely! It casts so much smoother without any knots getting in the way.

I should get one too, then. It sounds like a game changer!

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Knotless → It is formed from "knot" (from Old English *cnotta*, meaning a fastening made by tying) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "knotless" means without a knot or free from knots.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'fastening' ('knot') — that's why knotless means free from knots.
