Morphology

contentless = content (transparent) = content + less

The meaning is directly derived from 'content' with the suffix '-less' indicating absence.

Etymology

Contentless is made from content and -less. content originally means what is 'held' inside and is seen in words like container, and -less means 'without', so contentless simply means 'without contents', that is, 'empty'.
