Root Explanation

Milkless → It is formed from "milk" (from Old English *milc*, meaning the white liquid produced by mammals) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "milkless" means without milk or lacking milk.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') the 'white liquid' ('milk') that comes from mammals — that's what milkless means.
