wreathless

/ˈɹiθləs/ adj

Without a wreath; unwreathed.

Word Origin From Old English 'wrǣþ' (a twisted band) and the suffix -less (without). So wreathless means without a wreath, unadorned. The root wreath also gives us wreathe (to twist into a wreath). The PIE root *wreit- means to turn, twist. It's a simple word: lacking that circular decoration.
