Morphology

visorless = visor (transparent) = visor + less

The meaning 'without a visor' is directly and predictably derived from 'visor' + '-less'.

Etymology

Visorless comes from visor, an old word for a front 'face' or 'sight' cover (the same root as vision), and the ending -less, which means 'without'. So a visorless hat or helmet is simply one 'without' a front shade or face guard, which makes it easier to 'see'.
