Morphology

laceless = lace (transparent) = lace + less

The adjective is a direct negative formation from 'lace' (here the fastening cord sense) with '-less' indicating absence of laces.

Etymology

Laceless combines lace and -less, and here lace refers to the strings used to tie shoes (think shoelace), while -less means 'without'. So laceless means shoes or other items that are 'without' laces and are easy to put on.
