What is sans meaning?

In French, "sans" means "without." It is often used in phrases such as "sans-serif" (a type of font without small lines at the end of letters) and "sans-culottes" (a term used during the French Revolution to refer to working-class revolutionaries who wore long trousers instead of the knee-length breeches worn by the upper class). In English, "sans" has been adopted as a prefix to mean "without," as in "sanskrit" or "sans-serif."
