Morphology

deathless = death (transparent) = death + less

Meaning is directly 'without death' (=immortal), so learners can derive it from 'death' + '-less'.

Etymology

Deathless is made from death and the ending -less, which means 'without', so it literally means 'without death'. That's why deathless describes something that never dies or lasts forever.
