Morphology

tableless = table (semi-transparent) = table + less

Morphologically regular ('table' + '-less'), but the sense targets database or data-model 'tables', a specialized technical meaning learners may not know.

Etymology

Tableless comes from table + -less, where -less means 'without'. In data work, information often sits in tables like a spreadsheet of rows and columns, so a tableless system is one 'without' those fixed tables and can store more flexible data.
