indexless

/ˈɪndɛksləs/ adj

Without an index.

Word Origin Index from Latin indicare 'to point out', from in- 'in' + dicare 'to proclaim, point' (related to dicere 'to say'). Indexless means without an index. The root dic- gives us indicate, dictate, predict, contradict, and dictionary. The PIE root *deik- meant 'to show, point'. So index is literally 'pointer', and indexless is 'pointer-less'. The breakdown index+less shows the lack.
