Etymology of CLOTHESLESS

The word "clothesless" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "clothes" and "less".

- "Clothes" originated from the Old English word "clāþas", which referred to garments or clothing in general. This term can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*klæþō" and the Proto-Indo-European root "*g(l)ēt-", meaning "to stick" or "adhere".

- "Less" is a suffix borrowed from Middle English, derived from the Old English word "-lēas", which means "without" or "lacking".

By appending the suffix "-less" to "clothes", the word "clothesless" was formed, indicating an absence or lack of clothes.
