Root Explanation

Sideless → It is formed from "side" (from Old English "side", meaning a lateral part or surface) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "sideless" means without a side or lacking a lateral part.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'without' ('-less') a 'side' — that's what sideless means.
