nonce-wd. [f. FACT sb. + -LESS + -NESS.] The quality of being devoid of or wanting in facts.
1887. The Saturday Review, LXIV. 19 Nov., 708/2. To give an instance of the ‘factlessness’ of the book, it is sufficient to say that some careful reading is necessary to find out from it the exact date and duration of Emerson’s first love and marriage, and that as to this somewhat important part of any man’s life we fail to discover anything from Mr. Cabot, except that the lady was pretty, had very bad health, died very soon after she was married, and left her husband a small fortune.
