Griefless

/ˈɡriːfləs/ adjective

Definition

Without grief or sorrow; free from sadness or mourning.

Etymology

From 'grief' plus '-less' (a suffix meaning 'without'), creating an opposite antonym to griefful.

Kelly Says

The '-less' suffix is incredibly productive in English—you can attach it to almost any noun to negate it, which is why we have both 'griefful' and 'griefless' as opposites, even though only one of them is commonly used today.
