Morphology

tideless = tide (transparent) = tide + less

Direct, regular formation: 'tide' + '-less' yields 'without tide' or lacking tidal influence, which matches the water-related sense.

Etymology

Tideless comes from tide ('rise and fall of the sea') and -less ('without'). So it describes water that is calm and not moved by the tide.
