Root Explanation

Veinless → It is formed from "vein" (from Old French *veine*, meaning a blood vessel or channel) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "veinless" means without veins or lacking blood vessels.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') blood 'vessels' ('vein') — that's why veinless means lacking veins.
