prideless
Lacking self-regard
Prideless describes someone or something lacking pride—either the healthy self-respect that gives dignity, or the excessive self-regard that becomes arrogance.
The word can cut either way: a prideless beggar has been stripped of dignity, while a prideless admission of fault suggests welcome humility.
Context determines whether the absence is loss or virtue.
