Morphology

stanchless + enthusiasm

The phrase is compositionally interpretable from stanch (to stop or check) + -less (without), yielding 'unable to be stopped' enthusiasm. However, 'stanch'/'staunch' is a low-frequency/archaic verb and 'stanchless' is nonstandard, so an average B1 learner—even if they recognize the -less pattern—is unlikely to know the verb form or the exact spelling, making the meaning only partly predictable without exposure.

Etymology

Stanchless enthusiasm comes from the old word stanch, which means 'to stop a flow', and the ending less, which means 'without'. Imagine a river of excitement that keeps running and cannot be stopped, so the phrase means 'enthusiasm that cannot be stopped'.
