Morphology

gateless = gate (transparent) = gate + less

Formed by the noun 'gate' + productive adjectival suffix '-less' meaning 'without', so the meaning 'without a gate' is directly derived.

Etymology

Gateless is made of gate meaning 'a door in a fence' and the ending -less meaning 'without', so it literally means 'without a gate' and describes a place that is open and easy to enter.
