Morphology

partless = part (transparent) = part + less

The meaning 'having no parts' is directly derived from the base word 'part' with the suffix '-less'.

Etymology

Partless comes from the common word part and the ending -less, which means 'without'. Imagine an object with no separate pieces, a single whole that cannot be broken down, so partless means indivisible or whole.
