Root Explanation

Rindless → It is formed from "rind" (from Old English *rinda*, meaning the outer skin or covering of fruit) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "rindless" means without rind or outer covering.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is missing its outer skin or covering — that's what rindless means.
