Morphology

easeful = ease (transparent) = ease + ful

The meaning is directly derived from 'ease' with the addition of '-ful', indicating a state full of ease.

Etymology

Easeful comes from the simple word ease ('comfort' or 'no difficulty') plus the ending -ful ('full of'), so it literally means 'full of ease'. So something described as easeful is calm, relaxed, and moves or works without strain.
