Morphology

frostless = frost (transparent) = frost + less

A straightforward negative formation: 'frost' + '-less' means 'without frost' in a literal, standard way.

Etymology

Frostless is made from frost and -less, where frost means 'ice' and -less means 'without'. So a frostless refrigerator is 'without' ice inside, which is why you do not need to defrost it.
