What is the meaning of the suffix -less?

Cause to become
Without
Hand
Empty

The correct answer is: Without

The suffix -less is used to form adjectives indicating the absence of something. When added to a root word, it conveys that something does not have that specific quality or substance. For example, the word "hopeless" suggests the absence of hope, while "fearless" indicates a lack of fear. Therefore, the meaning of -less is accurately represented as "without." This understanding can help in recognizing other words that also utilize this suffix, allowing for better comprehension of vocabulary and its nuances. The other options do not represent the correct meaning of the suffix. "Cause to become" would pertain to transformative suffixes, while "hand" and "empty" relate to entirely different concepts and are not associated with the meaning conveyed by -less.
