footless
Lacking lower limbs
Footless means lacking feet, either literally or figuratively.
A footless lizard has evolved without limbs.
Footless tights or pajamas end at the ankle without covering the feet.
In British informal usage, footless can mean clumsy or incompetent—unable to find one's footing: a footless attempt at diplomacy.
