Lacking in fancy, imagination, or stylish decoration; plain, simple, or uninspired.
From 'fancy' plus the suffix '-less' (without). This creates an adjective meaning 'without fancy,' describing something plain or lacking imaginative decoration.
The suffix '-less' is one of English's ancient patterns—it comes from Old English and lets us instantly create opposites: helpful/helpless, fancy/fanciless, even 'reckless' (without reck, an old word for care)!
