Morphology

exceptionless = exception (transparent) = exception + less

Formed by the noun 'exception' plus the productive suffix '-less', meaning 'without exceptions'; in computing it straightforwardly denotes absence of runtime exceptions.

Etymology

Exceptionless combines exception (like the common word 'except', meaning 'a case left out' or an 'error' in computing) and -less ('without'), so it means 'without exceptions'. In computing, an exceptionless function is designed to run without errors, which makes error handling simpler.
