Root Explanation

Objectless → It is formed from "object" (from Latin "objectum", meaning something thrown before or presented) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "objectless" means without an object or aim.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') something that is 'presented' or 'thrown before' ('object'). This helps you remember that 'objectless' means lacking an object.
