Morphology

pressureless = pressure (semi-transparent) = pressure + less

The adjective is formed by '-less' on 'pressure', but the sense is an abstract or metaphorical extension (absence of social or psychological pressure) rather than purely physical.

Etymology

Pressureless comes from pressure, built on the idea 'to press' meaning 'to push' or 'force', and the ending -less meaning 'without'. So pressureless can mean 'without' the push or force that makes you hurry or feel stressed, which is why it describes calm, relaxed situations.
