Definition

Etymology

From 'hazard' plus the suffix '-less' meaning 'without' or 'lacking,' directly indicating the absence of hazards.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-less' creates the opposites of many words—'hazardless' is the linguistic opposite of 'hazardful,' but interestingly, we prefer 'safe' for everyday speech, showing how synonyms compete for usage.
