Root Explanation

Pinless → It is formed from "pin" (from Old English "pinn", meaning a small, pointed object used for fastening) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "pinless" means without a pin or fastening device.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'without' ('-less') a 'pin' — that's why pinless means lacking a pin.
