Without breakfast; having not eaten breakfast or lacking the morning meal.
From 'breakfast' + '-less' (suffix meaning without). This formation became common in the 19th century to describe states of deprivation or absence.
The '-less' suffix is powerful for describing hardship—'breakfastless' implies poverty or misfortune, not choice. Victorian literature used this word to emphasize how children went to school hungry, making the everyday urgent and emotional.
