Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Voicelessly → It is formed from "voice" (from Latin "vox", meaning sound or speech) and the suffix "-less" (meaning without) combined with the adverbial suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "voicelessly" means in a manner that is without sound or speech.

Memory Tip

Think of 'voice' as the sound we make when we speak, and 'less' means without. So, when something is done 'voicelessly', it is done without any sound.
