I was reading that article, but it felt so nounless at times.

Really? I hate when writing lacks substance like that.

Root Explanation
Nounless → It is formed from "noun" (from Latin "nomen", meaning name) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "nounless" means without a noun or lacking a noun.
Memory Tip
Think of 'noun' as a 'name' and '-less' meaning 'without' — so nounless describes something that is without a name or noun.
