Momless describes someone who is without a mother — either because she has passed away, been absent, or is otherwise not in the picture. It's a straightforward compound word in the same vein as 'homeless' or 'jobless,' used in North American informal speech. While it can be used neutrally in descriptive contexts, it carries emotional weight given the significance of maternal figures. It occasionally shows up in online discussions and personal stories about growing up without a parent.

Growing up momless, she leaned on her aunts and older sister for the guidance most kids got from their moms.
