Morphology

throatless = throat (transparent) = throat + less

The meaning is directly derived from 'throat' with the suffix '-less' indicating the absence of a throat.

Throatless comes from the words throat 'the front of the neck' and -less meaning 'without'. So throatless describes something that has 'no throat' or no visible neck, like a statue whose head joins directly to the body.
