- 1無痛的；(比喻)輕鬆不費力的
Something that does not hurt or cause pain - 'a painless injection' means the shot did not hurt. It is also used more broadly for something that is not difficult, stressful, or unpleasant to go through - 'a painless process' means it went smoothly, without trouble.
core核心畫面
組成pain + less. '-less' means 'without,' so 'painless' literally means 'without pain.' You see this piece in 'hopeless' (without hope) and 'careless' (without care) too.
