Root Explanation

Sapless → It is formed from "sap" (from Old English "sæpp", meaning juice or fluid) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "sapless" describes something that is without sap or vitality, often referring to a lack of energy or liveliness.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'without' ('-less') the essential 'juice' or 'fluid' ('sap') that gives it life or energy.
