Did you see that new sculpture in the park?

Root Explanation

Neckless → It is formed from "neck" (from Old English "hnecca", meaning the part of the body connecting the head to the torso) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "neckless" means without a neck.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'neck' — that's why neckless means lacking a neck.
