Morphology

ironless = iron (transparent) = iron + less

Formed from the verb 'iron' + '-less', indicating 'not requiring ironing', which is directly inferable from the verb and suffix.

Etymology

Ironless can also mean 'no ironing needed' because it is made from iron (the tool used to smooth clothes) plus -less meaning 'without'. So ironless clothing stays smooth and does not need an iron.
