Without a butcher; lacking a person who butchers or sells meat.
From 'butcher' plus the suffix '-less', meaning 'without' or 'lacking'. This suffix comes from Old English '-leas' and appears in common words like homeless, helpless, and fearless.
The '-less' suffix is one of English's most productive word-building tools—you can theoretically add it to almost any noun to create an adjective meaning 'without that thing.' It's a shortcut our language uses constantly.
