Morphology

chargeless = charge (transparent) = charge + less

Negation of 'charge' in the payment/fee sense yields 'without payment' (free); the morphological logic is direct.

Etymology

Chargeless comes from charge (a word for a 'price' someone asks) and -less meaning 'without'. So, a service described as chargeless is given 'without price' — in other words, free.
