Root Explanation

Wireless → It is formed from "wire" (from Old English "wir", meaning a slender, flexible strand of metal) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "wireless" means without wires, referring to communication or technology that does not require physical connections through wires.

Memory Tip

Think of 'wire' as a metal strand and '-less' meaning without — so wireless means without any wires.
