Adjective

corkless (not comparable)

  1. Lacking a cork.
    • 1858, Hans Christian Andersen, The Bottle Neck:
      It did not see daylight again until it was unpacked, together with its comrades, in the cellar of a wine merchant; and then for the first time it was rinsed out — that was an odd sensation. It then lay empty and corkless, and felt strangely dull, as if it lacked something, though it didn't know what.
