Morphology

sexless = sex (transparent) = sex + less

The word 'sexless' is transparently derived from 'sex' with the suffix '-less', meaning 'without sex'.

Etymology

Sexless comes from sex meaning 'male or female; sexual' and the ending -less meaning 'without', like in hopeless. So sexless can mean 'without sexual appeal' or 'not sexually attractive'.
