Root Explanation

Sugarless → It is formed from "sugar" (from Old French *sucre*, meaning a sweet substance) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "sugarless" means without sugar or lacking sugar.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sugar' as the sweet substance and '-less' meaning without — so sugarless means lacking sweetness.
