Formed by adding the productive suffix '-less' meaning 'without' to the noun 'belt', so the meaning is directly derived and clear to learners.

Etymology

Beltless is made from belt and the part -less, which means 'without', so it literally means 'without a belt'. That's why we use beltless to describe clothes not having or worn with a belt.
