Morphology

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

Built from 'juice' + '-less' but relies on an informal slang sense of 'juice' = electrical power/battery; the morphology is regular but the sense requires slang knowledge.

Etymology

Juiceless uses juice in its informal sense, 'power' for a device, with -less, 'without', so a juiceless phone or camera has no battery and cannot work until it is charged.
