Pronunciation: [skˈɔːləs] (IPA) 
The word "scoreless" is spelled with a silent "e" and pronounced as /ˈskɔr ləs/. The first syllable is stressed and it rhymes with "more". The "sco" part is pronounced as /skɔr/. The "-less" suffix indicates the absence of something, in this case, a score in a game or competition. This word is commonly used in sports reporting to describe a game or match that ended with no scores from either team, resulting in a tie or a draw.
Scoreless is an adjective that refers to a situation or event in which no points or goals have been achieved by any of the competing participants or teams. It is typically used in sports, particularly games that involve scoring points or goals. In a scoreless game, neither team or player has managed to gain an advantage over the other by scoring any points.
The term scoreless can also extend beyond the realm of sports to describe any situation or event where no progress or result has been attained. This could be in a non-competitive context, such as a debate or negotiation, where no decisive outcome has been reached.
In its broader sense, scoreless suggests that there is no numerical value assigned to any participant's performance or effort. It implies a lack of success or achievement thus far, indicating that no points, goals, or victories have been acquired or recorded. The absence of a score signifies that there has been no tangible evidence of progress, success, or outcome in a particular endeavor. Consequently, a scoreless situation invites further efforts or strategies to change the state of affairs and establish a favorable outcome.

The word "scoreless" originated from the combination of two separate elements: "score" and the suffix "-less".
The term "score" refers to a system of keeping track of points or goals in a game or competition. It comes from the Old English word "scoru", which means "twenty", as scoring was often done by increments of twenty. Over time, "score" evolved to mean a group of twenty, a written or recorded record of points, and eventually, to refer to points or goals themselves.
The suffix "-less" is derived from Old English and means "without" or "lacking". It is often added to nouns to form adjectives indicating the absence or deprivation of the quality or attribute described by the noun. So, when combined with "score", "-less" forms the adjective "scoreless", implying the absence of any points or goals in a game or competition.
