Blissless

/ˈblɪsləs/ adjective

Definition

Without bliss; lacking happiness, joy, or contentment.

Etymology

From 'bliss' plus the negative suffix '-less' (meaning without). This follows the standard English pattern of creating opposite adjectives by adding '-less.'

Kelly Says

The suffix '-less' is incredibly productive in English—you can slap it onto almost any noun to mean 'without that thing.' It's so useful that new '-less' words are constantly being created, even if they're not in the dictionary yet!
