womanless

/ˈwʊmənləs/ adj

Without women or a woman.

Word Origin Womanless is built from woman and the suffix -less, from Old English lēas 'free from, devoid of.' Woman itself is a compound of wife and man (Old English wifman), so womanless literally means 'without a woman.' The -less suffix is incredibly productive: we have countless, fearless, and even floorless. It's a straightforward but vivid way to say something is missing.
