ageless = age (transparent) = age + less

Standard and directly interpretable derivation: 'age' + '-less' = without age; the meaning is clear to learners.

Etymology

The word ageless comes from age and -less, meaning 'without age', so we use it for people or things that do not seem to grow old or be changed by time.
