Pronunciation: [mɪstɹˈʌstləs] (IPA) 
Mistrustless is a rare word where the prefix "mis-" indicates a negative meaning, but the suffix "-less" suggests an absence of something. In this case, it means "without mistrust." The correct spelling of this term is /mɪsˈtrʌstləs/ where "mis" is pronounced as /mɪs/ with the short "i" sound, "trust" as /trʌst/ with the stress on the first syllable, and the suffix "-less" as /ləs/ with the schwa sound in the second syllable.
The word "mistrustless" is derived from the combination of two words: "mistrust" and the suffix "-less".
1. Mistrust: The term "mistrust" can be traced back to the Middle English word "mystrūst", which is a combination of the prefix "mis-" meaning "badly" or "wrongly", and the noun "trust" derived from Old Norse "traust". The root "traust" itself meant "confidence" or "reliance".
2. -Less: The suffix "-less" is used in English to form adjectives indicating the absence or lack of something. It originates from the Old English "-lēas", which corresponds to the modern "-less".
By combining "mistrust" with the suffix "-less", the word "mistrustless" is formed, meaning "without mistrust" or "free from suspicion".
