gearless

/ˈɡɪɹləs/ adj

Without gears.

Word Origin 'Gear' from Proto-Germanic garwjan 'to make, equip' — gear is equipment, what you prepare. The suffix -less means 'without,' so gearless is literally 'without equipment.' The root also gives 'gear' as in cogwheels (equipment for machinery), and compounds like 'gearbox' and 'gearshift.'
