Conversation

I found my old sketchbook, but the drawings are so structureless.

Really? What do you mean by that?

They just lack any clear form or detail; it's all over the place.

That can be kind of freeing though, right? Sometimes structure can limit creativity.

Root Explanation

Structureless → It is formed from "structure" (from Latin "structura", meaning a building or arrangement) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "structureless" means lacking a defined arrangement or organization.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'without' ('-less') a 'building' or 'arrangement' ('structure') — that's why structureless means lacking structure.
