Morphology

newsless = news (transparent) = news + less

The adjective is a straightforward formation from the noun 'news' plus the productive suffix '-less', meaning 'without news'; the meaning is predictable despite the word being rare.

Etymology

Newsless is built from news (things that are 'new' or recent) and the suffix -less meaning 'without'. So something newsless is simply 'without news' — it has no new information or updates.
