Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Spotlessly → It is formed from "spotless" (from Old English "spotleas", meaning without spots or blemishes) and "-ly" (meaning in a manner of). The word "spotlessly" means in a manner that is free from spots or blemishes.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without spots' ('spotless') and how the '-ly' indicates the manner — so to be spotlessly clean means to be clean in a way that has no spots.
