I just don't understand his reasonless anger towards me.

Yeah, it seems like he's upset for no real reason at all.

Root Explanation

Reasonless → It is formed from "reason" (from Old French *raison*, meaning a cause or explanation) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "reasonless" means without reason or lacking justification.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'cause' or 'explanation' ('reason') — that's what reasonless means.
