Gazeless

/ˈɡeɪzləs/ adjective

Definition

Lacking a gaze; not looking or unable to look, either literally without eyes or figuratively without attention or awareness.

Etymology

From 'gaze' plus the English suffix '-less' (meaning 'without'), similar to words like 'fearless,' 'homeless,' and 'graceless' that describe an absence of something.

Kelly Says

The '-less' suffix is the opposite of '-ful,' which is why you can pair almost any noun with '-less' to say something is missing—it's one of English's most reliable word-building patterns.
