Morphology

sealless = seal (transparent) = seal + less

Meaning is directly 'without a seal' (lacking an official stamp), so the derivation from 'seal' + '-less' is clear.

Etymology

The word sealless comes from seal, meaning a stamp that shows a paper is official, and -less, meaning 'without', so a sealless document has no official stamp and may not be accepted as certified.
