Root Explanation

Peakless → It is formed from "peak" (from Old English *pīc*, meaning a pointed top or summit) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "peakless" describes something that does not have a peak or pointed top.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'without' ('-less') a 'pointed top' ('peak') — that's why peakless means lacking a peak.
