Morphology

bladeless = blade (transparent) = blade + less

Meaning is directly 'without a blade' referring to devices that operate without a traditional cutting or rotating blade.

Etymology

Bladeless comes from blade 'the cutting part of a tool' and the suffix -less 'without'. So a bladeless technique in surgery means doing the operation 'without' a traditional metal blade, often using a laser or another tool instead.
