costless

/ˈkɑstləs/ adj

Having no cost, or at least no cost paid for at the point of sale.

Word Origin Costless means 'without cost,' but 'cost' comes from Latin constare 'to stand together, stand firm' — originally, the price that something 'stands at.' So costless is literally 'not standing at a price.' The suffix -less is from Proto-Germanic *lausaz 'loose, free,' also giving us loose and -less in countless words.
