Morphology

choiceless = choice (semi-transparent) = choice + less

Derived from 'choice' in its adjectival sense 'select/excellent' so '-less' yields 'not select'; this relies on a less frequent sense of 'choice' and may not be obvious to learners.

Etymology

Choiceless can also come from choice used to mean 'the best' and the ending -less ('without'), so it describes something 'without the best parts'. That's why choiceless can mean ordinary or of low quality.
