Morphology

glareless = glare (transparent) = glare + less

The adjective is directly formed from 'glare' plus the privative suffix '-less', meaning 'without glare'.

Etymology

Glareless comes from the word glare meaning 'harsh, bright light' and the ending -less meaning 'without'. Imagine a screen or lamp that does not send strong light into your eyes, so glareless means 'not producing or reflecting light that hurts your eyes'.
