Without a cup; lacking or devoid of a cup or cup-like structure.
From cup + -less (suffix meaning without). A straightforward English formation following the pattern of other negative adjectives like 'hatless' and 'homeless.'
The word is technically correct but rarely used because we just say 'without a cup' instead—it's a reminder that not every grammatically possible word actually survives in real English!
