Did you try the new dessert at the café?

Root Explanation

Whipless → It is formed from "whip" (from Old English "hwippa", meaning a tool for striking) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "whipless" means without a whip or lacking a whip.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'tool for striking' ('whip') — that's why whipless means lacking a whip.
