Morphology

breezeless = breeze (transparent) = breeze + less

Formed from the noun 'breeze' + the productive suffix '-less', meaning 'without breeze', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Breezeless comes from breeze ('a light wind') and the ending -less ('without'). So it means 'without a breeze' — a time or place where the air is completely still and calm.
