answerless

/ˈænsɝləs/ adj

Having or producing no answer.

Word Origin From Old English 'andswaru,' literally 'a swearing against' — an answer was originally a formal, sworn reply. Add '-less' (devoid of) and you get 'answerless,' without a reply. The same root 'swear' gives us 'forswear' and 'swearword.' The idea of answering as a sworn statement is a great example of how legal language shaped everyday words.
