Morphology

tideless = tide (semi-transparent) = tide + less

Formally 'tide' + '-less', but the meaning is metaphorical ('not subject to shifting tides of opinion'), making the semantic link less direct for learners.

Etymology

Tideless comes from tide ('a movement or change', as in 'the tide of opinion') and -less ('without'). So it describes a person or thing that stays the same and is not changed by passing trends.
