gritless

/ˈɡɹɪtləs/ adj

Free from grit.

Word Origin From Old English greot 'sand, gravel' and the suffix -leas 'without'—so gritless literally means 'without grit'. Grit itself comes from Proto-Germanic *greutaz, and the PIE root *ghreu- meant 'to rub, grind'. That's why gritty means both 'sandy' and 'tough, determined'—the idea of rough particles that don't give way. The same root gives us grits (coarse ground corn).
