floorless
Lacking any ground
Floorless describes something lacking a floor or bottom.
A floorless pit seems to drop forever.
The word appears in descriptions of certain amusement rides, observation decks with glass panels, or metaphorically for situations without a lower limit: The market seemed floorless as prices kept falling.
