Bladeless

/ˈbleɪdləs/ adjective

Definition

Without a blade; lacking a cutting edge or the blade-like part that would normally be present.

Etymology

From Old English 'blæd' (blade) + '-less' (suffix meaning without). This opposite of 'bladed' shows how '-less' creates negations in English.

Kelly Says

Ironically, one of the coolest 'bladeless' inventions is Dyson's bladeless fan, which moves air using invisible air jets—it sounds futuristic but nature invented similar designs millions of years ago!
