Morphology

stemless = stem (transparent) = stem + less

Formed by the productive suffix '-less' on the noun 'stem', meaning 'without a stem', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Stemless is made of stem and -less, where stem means 'stalk' and -less means 'without'. So stemless means 'without a stem', which fits mushrooms, leaves, or wine glasses that have no stalk.
