Morphology

figureless = figure (transparent) = figure + less

Productive formation: 'figure' (decorative pattern) + '-less' yields 'without decorative pattern', which learners can infer from known parts.

Etymology

Figureless comes from figure meaning 'pattern' or 'shape' and the ending -less meaning 'without'. So figureless fabric or wallpaper is plain and has no decoration.
