Have you seen that new car model?

Yeah, it looks really sleek and tintless!

I wonder how they manage to make it look so clean.

Root Explanation

Tintless → It is formed from "tint" (from Latin "tingere", meaning to dye or color) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "tintless" means without color or dye.

Memory Tip

Think of 'tint' as a way to add color, and '-less' means without — so tintless means having no color.
