Conversation

Did you see that park we visited last week?

Yeah, it was nice, but it felt a bit treeless for my taste.

I agree, I prefer places with more shade from trees.

Same here! Trees really make a big difference in how relaxing a place feels.

Root Explanation

Treeless → It is formed from "tree" (from Old English *treow*, meaning a woody plant) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "treeless" means without trees or lacking trees.

Memory Tip

Imagine a place that is 'without' ('-less') any 'woody plants' ('tree') — that's what treeless means.
