Surface Forms

juiceless positive

Morphology

juiceless = juice (semi-transparent) = juice + less

The adjective is a metaphorical extension from literal 'lacking juice' to 'lacking interest or vitality', so the morphological relation is clear but the sense requires figurative inference.

Etymology

Juiceless comes from juice, 'the tasty or exciting part', plus -less, 'without', so a juiceless speech or book feels dull and has no life or interest.
