wristless
Without joint connections
Wristless describes something lacking a wrist or wrist portion.
The word appears most often describing gloves or sleeves that end at the hand without extending to cover the wrist: wristless mittens, a wristless design for better mobility.
Occasionally used figuratively for weakness or lack of grip, playing on the wrist's role in manual dexterity.
