Pronunciation: [fˈa͡ɪbələs] (IPA) 
The word "fibreless" is spelled with the letter "i" instead of "y" because in British English, the spelling of "fibre" has an "i" instead of "y". The word refers to something that lacks fibers, such as fruit or vegetables that have a soft, pulp-like texture. The IPA transcription for "fibreless" is /ˈfaɪbərləs/, with emphasis on the first syllable and a schwa sound in the second syllable.
Fibreless is an adjective that refers to the absence or lack of fibres. The term is often used in various contexts to describe things that do not have fibrous elements or characteristics.
In the field of textiles and fabrics, fibreless can describe materials that are not composed of or contain any fibres. These materials are usually smooth, even, or lacking in texture, unlike fabrics that have visible threads or strands. For example, synthetic materials like polyester or nylon can be considered fibreless, as they are typically made of continuous filaments rather than individual fibres.
In the realm of nutrition and diet, fibreless is used to describe foods or products that are devoid of dietary fibre. Dietary fibre is the indigestible part of plant-based foods that provides numerous health benefits, such as promoting regular bowel movements, reducing cholesterol levels, and aiding in weight management. A fibreless diet often lacks the necessary amount of fibre required for optimal digestive health.
On a broader scale, fibreless can also describe communication or information channels that do not involve or rely on physical or tangible transmission mediums, such as optical fibres or cables. In this context, it refers to wireless or virtual means of transmitting data, messages, or signals.
Overall, the term "fibreless" denotes the absence of fibres and can be used to describe a range of things, including materials, diets, and communication methods.

The word fibreless is derived from the noun fibre combined with the suffix -less.
The noun fibre originated from the Latin word fibra, which means a thread or a filament. It first appeared in English around the 14th century, referring to a slender and thread-like structure found in plants, animals, or man-made materials.
The suffix -less is Old English in origin and has been used since the 10th century to create adjectives that indicate the absence or lack of the quality described by the base word. In this case, -less is added to fibre to create fibreless, meaning without fibres or lacking fibres.
