Meaning of "palpless" in English

The word "palpless" is not a standard term in the English language and does not appear in major dictionaries. It seems to be a rare or possibly invented term. If we break it down, "palp" is a term used in biology referring to appendages on arthropods that are used for sensory activity. The suffix "-less" means without, so "palpless" might be interpreted to mean "without palps." This could be a concept used in specialized biological contexts to describe organisms lacking these appendages.

Meaning of "palpless" in French

"Palpless" is also not a recognized term in French. However, if we consider its possible meaning in English, the French equivalent could be constructed as "sans palpes." In biology, "palpes" refers to sensory appendages. Therefore, "palpless" or "sans palpes" could be used in specific biological contexts to describe species or specimens that lack these sensory structures.
