Morphology

worldless = world (transparent) = world + less

The meaning is directly derived from 'world' with the suffix '-less' indicating absence.

Etymology

Worldless comes from world and the ending -less, which means 'without'. Picture someone floating with no place to belong; being 'without a world' explains why the word means existing outside any known reality.
