Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Tipless → It is formed from "tip" (from Old English *tipa*, meaning the end or point of something) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "tipless" means without a tip or point.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is missing its 'tip' — the '-less' indicates the absence of that tip.
