Root Explanation

Sexlessly → It is formed from "sex" (from Latin "sexus", meaning gender or sex) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "sexlessly" means without sex or gender characteristics.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sex' as referring to gender and '-less' meaning without — so 'sexlessly' describes something that is without gender.
