Morphology

genderless = gender (transparent) = gender + less

Formed by the noun 'gender' + the productive suffix '-less', meaning 'without gender', which is directly understandable to learners who know 'gender'.

Etymology

Genderless is made of gender and -less. The part gender comes from an old Latin word meaning 'kind' (you can see the same idea in genre), and -less means 'without', so genderless means 'without a gender', used for people, clothes, or ideas that are not just male or female.
