Morphology

tipless = tip (transparent) = tip + less

The meaning is directly derived from 'tip' and the suffix '-less', indicating the absence of a tip.

Etymology

Tipless comes from tip and the ending -less, where tip means 'the pointed end' and -less means 'without'. Think of gloves, pens, or brushes that have their tips removed — that's why tipless means 'without a tip'.
