Formed directly from the noun 'solder' plus the productive suffix '-less', meaning 'without solder'.

Etymology

Solderless comes from solder, an old word that means 'to make solid' and is like the simple English word solid, plus the ending -less which means 'without'. So solderless literally means 'without solder' and is used for parts or joints made together without soldering, which makes assembly quicker and easier.
