Where this comes from

The linked dictionary entry grounds the productive '-free' construction because Wiktionary has no standalone 'problem-free' headword.

Problem-free is not a headword in the dictionaries below. The sense was checked against their entries for -free, and the definition and example here are written for Problem-free itself.

The definition and the example on this page are written here. The dictionaries above ground which meaning is being described, not the wording.
