Foamless

/ˈfoʊmləs/ adjective

Definition

Without foam or froth; lacking in bubbles or a frothy surface.

Etymology

From 'foam' + '-less' (suffix meaning without), following the ancient and productive English pattern of using '-less' to negate or express absence.

Kelly Says

The '-less' suffix is the opposite of '-ful'—it's been in English since Anglo-Saxon times and remains wildly productive, allowing speakers to instantly create negations like 'shameless,' 'homeless,' or 'foamless' that everyone understands.
