I really think some problems are just remediless no matter what you do.

That's true; some situations just can't be fixed easily.

Root Explanation

Remediless → It is formed from "remedy" (from Latin *remedium*, meaning a cure or healing) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "remediless" means without a remedy or cure.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'cure' ('remedy') — that's what remediless means.
