leafless

/ˈɫifɫəs/ adj A1

without leaves

Word Origin Built from leaf and the suffix -less, which comes from Old English lēas 'devoid of' — so leafless is literally 'devoid of leaves.' The same -less appears in countless words like hopeless, endless, and lifeless. The leaf part goes back to Proto-Germanic *laubaz, also giving us leafy and leaflet.
