The adjective is directly formed by adding the productive suffix '-less' to the noun 'glamour', yielding 'without glamour'.
Etymology
Glamourless comes from glamour, a word that once meant 'magic' or 'enchantment', and the ending -less, which means 'without'. So glamourless is like 'without magic' — plain, unexciting, or not attractive.
