Root Explanation

Shadowless → It is formed from "shadow" (from Old English *sceadu*, meaning shade or shadow) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "shadowless" means without a shadow or lacking shade.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'shadow' ('sceadu') — that's why shadowless means lacking a shadow.
