grammarless

/ˈɡɹæmɝləs/ adj

Without grammar or a grammar.

Word Origin 'Grammar' comes from Greek 'gramma' (letter), so it's the art of letters. 'Grammarless' means without grammar — lacking rules of language. The same root gives us 'grammatical', 'grammarian', 'diagram', 'program', 'telegram'. The suffix '-less' from Proto-Germanic 'lausaz' (free from, devoid) gives us 'hopeless', 'careless'. So 'grammarless' is literally 'free of letters'.
