Morphology

typeless = type (transparent) = type + less

Clear derivation from the noun 'type' with the negative/resultative suffix '-less' meaning 'without a particular type'.

Etymology

The word typeless comes from type, which means a 'kind' or 'category', and the ending -less, which means 'without'. So a typeless variable or approach has no fixed label or class, like a box with no label, making it more flexible.
