Hint: Synonyms of less are reduced, inferiors, diminished, fewer, limited.
Adjectives can be formed by adding the suffix -less, which means "without," to nouns and verbs.

Complete answer:
“Not as much” is the definition of the word “less.” With uncountable words like milk, we use less. Next time, could you give Cookie Monster a little less milk? Most of the time, you won't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out whether a noun is countable or uncountable, making the choice between less and fewer a breeze. You do something to a lesser extent or less frequently if you do it less than previously or than someone else.

There are many words that end with ‘less’. Like-
i) Friendless – Friendless is someone who has no friends, who are alone or likes to be alone.
ii) Homeless – A homeless person is someone who is without a home; "a homeless man was found slain in Central Park." homeless - poor people who do not have a place to dwell; "homelessness has become a problem in metropolitan cities". Unfortunate, unfortunate person - someone who has had bad luck.
iii) Jobless – Jobless is someone who has no job. And there is another word for it, that is unemployment.
iv) Careless – A careless person does not think about what they are doing, resulting in blunders, injuries, and property damage. Next time, try not to be so careless! Someone was irresponsible: It was quite irresponsible of you to leave the medications where the children could access them.
v) Thankless – And many more words are Nonetheless, Meaningless, Thoughtless, Featureless
, Remorseless, Purposeless, Emotionless, passionless.

Note: "Less than" is used to indicate that one amount or number is smaller than another. "Lesser than" is incorrect since "lesser" and "than" both suggest a comparison, making their use redundant. "Less than" or "lesser" would have to be the sole options. You'd say the least of two alternatives.
