Beefless

/ˈbiːfləs/ adjective

Definition

Without beef; lacking muscle, strength, or substance; not containing beef.

Etymology

From 'beef' + suffix '-less' (meaning without); straightforward English formation for negation.

Kelly Says

The '-less' suffix is one of the most productive in English—you can add it to nearly any noun to mean 'without that thing,' which is why 'beefless' immediately makes sense even if you've never heard it before.
