Without reward, compensation, or payment; unrewarded or uncompensated.
From 'guerdon' plus the negation suffix '-less', which means 'without'. This creates the opposite of 'guerdonable'.
Shakespeare and other Renaissance writers used 'guerdonless' to describe tragic figures who labored or suffered without recognition—it's the poetic opposite of being justly rewarded.
