My attempt at a Riley Riddle:
My prefix is a limit.
My suffix is quite unlit.
My infix shows what's done--
but I'm afraid I don't have one.
What am I?

$\begingroup$ Could you please add a hint?? Is it an everyday object or something which we have to bury our heads in Google to know the word? Is it a common word or a proper noun?? Thank you! :) $\endgroup$– RapiddaggerCommented May 22, 2018 at 15:26

$\begingroup$ @KarisYuen It is a word most people should know (not a proper noun), but isn't in particularly common use. It is a noun, but an idea rather than an object. $\endgroup$– Carl SchildkrautCommented May 22, 2018 at 22:57

1$\begingroup$ That's an interesting answer! Unfortunately, as it doesn't fit the infix clue, it's not correct. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 14, 2018 at 18:25
