Root Explanation

Passionless → It is formed from "passion" (from Latin *passio*, meaning suffering or feeling) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "passionless" means without passion or emotion.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') any 'feeling' ('passio') — that's why passionless means lacking emotion.
