Morphology

low-pressure = low + pressure (transparent) = low + pressure

The meaning is directly derived from 'low' (not much) + 'pressure' (force/stress), a straightforward figurative extension used to mean 'not forceful or intense'.

Etymology

Low-pressure combines low, meaning 'not high', and pressure, meaning 'force' or 'push'. So a 'low-pressure' person or situation gives little force and feels gentle, relaxed and not aggressive.
