Without froth or foam; lacking bubbles, efficiency, or substance.
From 'froth' plus the negative suffix '-less,' which means 'without' or 'lacking.'
The '-less' suffix is one of English's most useful for creating antonyms—it can turn almost any noun into an adjective meaning 'without it,' creating flexibility in expression.
