Without a hedge; unprotected or unguarded; also used to mean without evasion or completely direct and honest.
From 'hedge' plus the suffix '-less' (meaning without), creating an adjective describing either a physical lack of hedges or metaphorical lack of evasion.
A 'hedgeless' answer is refreshingly direct—it's the opposite of the wishy-washy political double-talk we hear all the time, where someone finally just says what they mean.
