Morphology

pressureless = pressure (transparent) = pressure + less

The adjective is a straightforward negative formation from the noun 'pressure' using the productive suffix '-less', yielding the literal sense 'without pressure'.

Etymology

Pressureless comes from pressure, built on the idea 'to press' meaning 'to push', plus the ending -less meaning 'without'. So a pressureless chamber is 'without' any pushing force inside, which fits the scientific meaning for places with no air or internal pressure.
