Morphology

seamless = seam (transparent) = seam + less

The meaning 'without seams' is the direct and literal combination of 'seam' + '-less' when referring to fabric.

Etymology

Seamless comes from the simple word seam, a line where two pieces of cloth are joined, and the ending -less meaning 'without'. So, seamless originally meant 'without a seam', which is why we use it for clothes, pipes, or objects made with no joins.
