I just got some new pencils that are completely woodless!

Really? That sounds interesting. How do they work?

Root Explanation

Woodless → It is formed from "wood" (from Old English "wudu", meaning tree or timber) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "woodless" means without wood or trees.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') trees ('wood') — that's why woodless means lacking wood.
