authorless

/ˈɔθɝləs/ adj

Without an author.

Word Origin Author comes from Latin auctor 'originator,' from augere 'to increase, create' — an author is one who brings something into being, makes it grow. Authorless means lacking that creator, literally 'without an originator.' The same root augere gives us augment and auction (where bids increase). The -less suffix is from Old English leas 'devoid of.'
