It's not serious, but I felt it was interesting - "UN-" as a prefix plus "-LESS" as suffix is not "UNLESS"... BUT There is an example, that may link them, what d'you think : "UNI-" means "one-" plus "-LESS" And "ONE" is "able" to form an adverb with "-LY" as "ONLY"... of course I may be in a total confusion... Well, I usually explain this word this way when I teach. |
