matless
Lacking entrance rug
Without a mat or mats.
A matless floor lacks protective covering; a matless wrestler competes without proper equipment.
The word appears in practical contexts where the absence of a mat matters: The matless bathroom floor was cold on bare feet, matless yoga on the grass.
