Pronunciation: [kɹˈa͡ɪmləs] (IPA) 
The word "crimeless" is spelled with a silent "e" at the end. In IPA phonetic transcription, it can be written as /ˈkraɪmləs/. The "y" in the middle of the word represents the long "i" sound /aɪ/.

Crimeless is an adjective that refers to a situation or environment that is completely devoid of any criminal activity. It describes a state in which no illegal or wrongful acts are being committed, and there is absence of any deviant behavior that violates the laws or moral standards of a society. In a crimeless setting, there is no incidence of theft, violence, fraud, or any other unlawful conduct.
The term crimeless can be used to characterize a specific area, community, or period of time where criminal activities are extremely rare or non-existent. It denotes a sense of safety, security, and peace, as it implies that individuals need not worry about the occurrence of any criminal acts or their consequences. It suggests a state of social harmony and a well-functioning system of law and order.
Crimeless is often used in contrast to the prevailing conditions or commonly associated crimes of a particular region or era. It highlights a condition that is exceptional or highly desirable, as it implies an ideal state where individuals are not victimized or affected by illegal activities. However, it is important to note that the concept of crimelessness is relative, as it can vary based on the definition of crime, cultural context, and the perception of what is considered as criminal behavior in a given society.

The word "crimeless" is formed from the combination of the prefix "crime-" and the suffix "-less".
The prefix "crime-" originates from the Latin word "crimen", which means "fault" or "accusation". It emerged in English through Old French and Middle English influences. "Crime" primarily refers to a specific act that is considered illegal or against the law.
The suffix "-less" is derived from Old English and signifies a lack of something or the absence of a particular quality. When combining the prefix "crime-" with the suffix "-less", the word "crimeless" is created, indicating the absence or lack of crime.
