Morphology

glareless = glare (transparent) = glare + less

Productive negative formation: 'without a glaring stare' is directly inferred from 'glare' + '-less'.

Etymology

Glareless also comes from glare meaning 'an angry or hard look' and -less meaning 'without'. Think of a person who does not give a sharp stare, so glareless means 'not showing a hostile or angry look'.
