Morphology

sideless = side (transparent) = side + less

Meaning is directly 'without sides' formed by the noun 'side' plus productive suffix '-less', which a B1 learner can readily interpret.

Etymology

Sideless is made of side and -less, where side means 'edge' or 'part' and -less means 'without', as in homeless. So sideless literally means 'without sides' and is easy to remember for things that have no side parts, like a chair or a frame.
