Fiberless

/ˈfaɪbərləs/ adjective

Definition

Having no fibers; lacking the thread-like structures found in fibrous materials.

Etymology

From 'fiber' (Latin 'fibra') plus the suffix '-less' (from Old English '-leas') meaning without or lacking.

Kelly Says

In nature, true fiberless materials are rare—even sand has crystalline structures—but the term is useful for describing materials processed to have their natural fibers removed, like some types of processed produce or refined chemicals.
