Controlless

/kənˈtroʊlləs/ adjective

Definition

Without control; uncontrolled or unmanageable.

Etymology

From control plus the suffix -less, which means 'without.' A rarer adjective than its synonyms.

Kelly Says

Words ending in -less are ancient patterns in English—controlless follows the same formula as 'fearless' or 'helpless,' but many people naturally prefer 'uncontrolled' instead.
