Without claws; lacking claws or claw-like structures.
From claw (a sharp nail on an animal's foot) plus -less (a suffix meaning 'without'). The -less suffix comes from Old English lēas, meaning deprived of or lacking.
Evolution is wild—some crustaceans and amphibians are clawless because they adapted to different ways of catching food or surviving. Frogs and toads are clawless despite being hunters, which shows that success doesn't require the same tools for every creature.
