Root Explanation

Spiritlessness → It is formed from "spirit" (from Latin "spiritus", meaning breath or soul) and "-lessness" (meaning without). The word "spiritlessness" refers to the state of being without spirit or vitality.

Memory Tip

Think of 'spirit' as representing life or energy, and '-lessness' indicating a lack of it — so spiritlessness means lacking that vital energy.
