Morphology

juiceless = juice (transparent) = juice + less

Meaning is the literal absence of juice (fruit liquid), a straightforward '-less' negation of the noun.

Etymology

Juiceless is made from juice, 'the liquid inside fruit', and the ending -less, 'without', so a juiceless orange or piece of meat is dry and has no juice.
