Learn English – Word for person without children

phrase-requestword-request

Is there a word (adjective or noun) for people who has no children, just like single for people who is not married?

I looked on the internet and found the word childfree, but it seems to describe a lifestyle preference instead of being a simple statement of fact.

Best Answer

The word is childless.

This is neither positive nor negative in tone, and does not imply whether the couple remains without children by choice or by some other circumstance (e.g. one partner might be sterile.)
