daughterless
Lacking female offspring
Daughterless means having no daughter or daughters.
The word appears in literary or formal contexts to describe someone who lacks female offspring: The king died daughterless, leaving no heir.
It parallels formations like childless or sonless, though it sees far less use than either.
