: sin carga

Chargeless and light, neutrinos are difficult to detect in experiments.

Examples

In physics, a chargeless state is essential for understanding certain subatomic particles.
The chargeless particles, known as neutrinos, pass through matter without interacting.
We now speak of the energy of light; of massless, chargeless neutrinos; and even of empty space.

Morphology

chargeless = charge (transparent) = charge + less

Meaning is a direct negation of 'charge' in the electrical sense: without electric charge.

Etymology

Chargeless comes from charge (a word that can mean a 'load' or an 'electric charge') and the ending -less meaning 'without'. So, chargeless in this sense means 'without electric charge', neither positive nor negative.
