The definition is at the end of the clue.
How the clue works
The definition is without power, meaning impotent or ineffectual. The wordplay starts with TOO from "also", followed by THE SS ("the ship", SS being a standard abbreviation for steamship) placed around L ("left"). So THE SS becomes TH-L-ESS, wrapping L inside. Putting it all together: TOO + TH(L)ESS = TOOTHLESS.
