Etymology: "Modifierless" is a plain compound: "modifier" plus the suffix "-less," which comes from Old English "lēas" and means "without." The result describes something that lacks any modification, alteration, or added change. The base word goes back to Latin "modificare," meaning "to keep within measure" or "to regulate," from "modus" (measure) and "facere" (to make). It reached English through Old French. The sense of "altering" developed from that older idea of setting something to a proper measure.
