branchless

/ˈbɹæntʃləs/ adj

Without branches; continuing in a single path or piece; without divergence.

Word Origin 'Branchless' means without branches. The word 'branch' comes from Late Latin branca, meaning paw or claw — so a branch was originally seen as a claw-like extension of a tree. That's why branchless means bare, like a tree without its claws. The same root gives us 'branchy' and 'branchlike.'
