Morphology

conductorless = conductor (transparent) = conduct + or + less

The adjective is directly formed from 'conductor' + '-less' meaning 'without a conductor' in the physical/material sense.

Etymology

Conductorless comes from conductor, which is from conduct meaning 'to carry', plus the ending -less meaning 'without'. A conductor is something that carries electricity, so conductorless means 'without the material that carries electricity', which is why it describes things that do not let electricity pass.
