Morphology

bloodlessness = bloodless (semi-transparent) = blood + less + ness

Formed by adding '-ness' to 'bloodless'; the shift from literal lack of blood to 'no bloodshed/violence' is a figurative extension that is not purely literal but still inferable.

Etymology

Bloodlessness comes from the simple parts blood and -less, meaning 'without blood'. So a bloodless revolution is one with no fighting or injury, and bloodlessness means a peaceful change where no one is harmed.
