Flexionless

/ˈflɛkʃənləs/ adjective

Definition

Without flexion; rigid or unable to bend.

Etymology

From 'flexion' plus the suffix '-less' meaning 'without,' creating an adjective describing the absence of bending.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-less' is one of English's most creative tools—you can add it to almost any noun to mean 'without it,' which is why 'flexionless' joints are stiff while 'flexion' joints can bend.
