Morphology

skinless = skin (transparent) = skin + less

Formed from the noun 'skin' plus the productive suffix '-less' meaning 'without', a transparent derivation learners can infer.

Etymology

The word skinless is made of skin and the ending -less, where -less means 'without', just like in homeless which means 'without a home'. So skinless means 'without skin', used for food or things that have had their skin removed.
