'melody-free' originates from the English word 'melody' combined with the suffix '-free,' indicating the absence of melody.

'Melody' comes from the Greek word 'melōidía,' meaning 'singing, chanting,' and 'free' from Old English 'frēo,' meaning 'not in bondage.'

Initially, 'melody' referred to a sequence of musical notes, while 'free' meant 'not in bondage.' Together, 'melody-free' evolved to mean 'lacking melody.'
