diskless

/ˈdɪskɫəs/ adj

Without the use of floppy disks.

Word Origin Diskless means without a disk. 'Disk' comes from Greek 'diskos', originally a round platter or quoit (a throwing discus). The -less suffix, from Proto-Germanic 'lausaz', means lacking. So a diskless computer, for example, has no disk drive. The same Greek root gives us 'discus' and 'disco' (short for discotheque, a place with records).
