Before adding the suffix "less", flaw means a fault or imperfection.  When you add the suffix, you get flawless, which means "without any imperfections", or "perfect".

Answer:

Flaw + less= flawless - having no mistakes, marks or weaknesses

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of the suffix "less" is 'without something.' We add the suffix 'less' to a word to form adjectives, and the meaning changes to "without the thing mentioned". For example:

Flaw : noun (a fault, mistake, or weakness) - flawless: adjective (containing no faults or mistakes; perfect)

Harm: noun (physical or other injure) - harmless: adjective (not able or not likely to cause harm).
