pantsless
Missing lower garment
Pantsless means not wearing pants: He answered the door pantsless.
The word appears in descriptions of embarrassing situations, casual domestic scenes, and the disorienting state of waking up somewhere unfamiliar.
Like other "-less" formations, it emphasizes absence—the expected garment is conspicuously missing.
