Morphology

packless = pack (transparent) = pack + less

Standard derivation: 'pack' (baggage) + '-less' yields 'not carrying a pack', which is straightforward.

Etymology

Packless combines pack meaning 'a bundle you carry', as in backpack, and -less meaning 'without'. So packless describes someone 'not carrying a pack' and moving free of a load.
