gutterless

Lacking rain channels

Gutterless describes something lacking gutters—the channels that collect and direct rainwater from roofs.

A gutterless roof lets water fall freely from the eaves: The gutterless cabin had eroded trenches along its foundation.

The word occasionally appears figuratively to suggest uncontained flow or absence of boundaries.
