Root Explanation

Peopleless → It is formed from "people" (from Old French *pople*, meaning a group of individuals) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "peopleless" means without people or devoid of individuals.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'group of individuals' ('people') — that's what peopleless means.
