"-less", which means "without", is used as a SUFFIX (note the correct spelling), i.e. a portion of word which comes AFTER the main part - or root - of a word. Here are a few words that will show you just how common it is:

- pennyless = very poor, having no money

- groundless = having no ground or foundation

- meaningless = having no meaning

- shameless = having or showing no shame

- remorseless = having or showing no remorse

- relentless = unremittingly severe, strict, harsh; inflexible.

There are many more!

"Less" is a suffix. It is added to the end of a word to modify its meaning, such as in the word "hopeless."
