Morphology

floorless = floor (transparent) = floor + less

Formed by the clear negative suffix '-less' attached to 'floor', yielding 'without a floor', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word floorless is formed from floor, meaning the inside ground of a building, and -less, meaning 'without', as in careless. So floorless literally means 'without a floor', which helps you remember a room, tent, or shed that has no floor at all.
