Fraudless

/ˈfrɔːdləs/ adjective

Definition

Free from fraud; honest, genuine, and without deception.

Etymology

From 'fraud' (Latin 'fraus', deceit) + '-less' (without). The adjective emphasizes the absence of fraudulent intent or practice.

Kelly Says

The '-less' suffix is incredibly productive in English—'fraudless,' 'harmless,' 'fearless'—yet 'fraudless' is rare because we prefer positive words like 'honest' rather than negating dishonest ones.
