Morphology

datelessness = dateless (transparent) = date + less + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'dateless' (itself 'date' + '-less'), so the meaning 'state of being without a date' is directly derived.

Etymology

Datelessness comes from date 'a day or time' and the ending -less 'without'. So something with datelessness feels 'without a time' or 'timeless', like a story or building that could belong to any age.
