Morphology

viewless = view (transparent) = view + less

Formed by 'view' + '-less' and here used to mean 'without view/sight', which is directly inferable as 'not visible'.

Etymology

The word viewless comes from view, meaning 'sight' or 'what you can see', and the ending less, meaning 'without'. So viewless can mean 'not able to be seen' or 'invisible'.
