dinnerless

/ˈdɪnɝləs/ adj

Without dinner.

Word Origin 'Dinner' comes from Old French 'disner', from Latin 'dis-' (apart) and 'ieiunare' (to fast) — breaking the fast. So dinner is literally the meal that breaks the fast. 'Dinnerless' means without dinner, using the '-less' suffix. Related words: 'dine,' 'diner,' and 'dinette' (a small dining area).
