Root Explanation

Matchless → It is formed from "match" (from Old English *gemæcca*, meaning a mate or equal) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "matchless" means without an equal or peer, signifying something that is unparalleled or unique.

Memory Tip

Think of something that has no equal or 'mate' ('match') — that's why we call it 'matchless'.
