Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: –less. an adjective suffix meaning “without” (childless; peerless), and in adjectives derived from verbs, indicating failure or inability to perform or be performed (resistless; tireless).
Detailed explanation-2: -The suffix ‘less’ changes a noun into an adjective, meaning ‘without’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adjectives formed using-less often form nouns by the addition of-ness (e.g. helplessness), but generally do not form nouns by the addition of other noun-forming endings. A notable exception to the usual usage of this suffix is that doubtless is usually an adverb, rather than an adjective.
