Root Explanation

Valuelessness → It is formed from "value" (from Latin "valere", meaning to be strong or to be worth) and "-less" (meaning without) and "-ness" (meaning the state of). The word "valuelessness" means the state of being without value or worth.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') 'worth' ('value') — that's why valuelessness means having no value.
