Root Explanation

Zipless → It is formed from "zip" (a colloquial term for a zipper, which is a fastening device) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "zipless" describes something that is without a zipper or lacking the fastening mechanism typically associated with zippers.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'without' ('-less') a 'zipper' ('zip') — that's why zipless means lacking a zipper.
