caseless = case (transparent) = case + less

The meaning is directly derived from 'case' + 'less', indicating the absence of a case or cover.

Etymology

Caseless comes from case, meaning a cover or protective box, and -less, meaning 'without', so something described as caseless is simply 'without' a cover — like a phone carried with no protective case.
