Morphology

awless = awe (transparent) = awe + less

The meaning is directly derived from 'awe' + the productive suffix '-less' ('without awe'); the small spelling change does not obscure the meaning.

Etymology

Awless comes from awe ('wonder or respect') plus the ending -less ('without'), just like in fearless. So awless means 'without awe' — someone who shows no respect.
