Morphology

skyful = sky (transparent) = sky + ful

The adjective is a straightforward 'sky' + '-ful' ('full of sky'), which a learner can interpret literally.

Etymology

Skyful comes from sky and the part -ful, which means 'full of', just like in cupful. So a skyful place is 'full of sky', a wide view with lots of sky above you.
