Without a handle; not having something to hold or grip.
Combines 'handle' with the suffix '-less' (from Old English '-leas,' meaning 'without' or 'deprived of'), creating an adjective describing the absence of a handle.
Words ending in '-less' are a clever English construction—instead of saying 'without a handle,' we can add '-less' to any noun, which is why we can create words like 'homeless,' 'fearless,' or 'handleless' as needed.
