Morphology

seamless = seam (semi-transparent) = seam + less

The word is built transparently from 'seam' + '-less', but the skin sense is metaphorical rather than a literal absence of sewing seams.

Etymology

Seamless comes from the words seam and -less meaning 'without', where a seam is a join or line in cloth. So, when we describe skin as seamless, we mean it looks perfectly smooth and has no visible lines.
