Morphology

iceless = ice (transparent) = ice + less

Standard adjective formed by adding '-less' to 'ice', meaning 'without ice', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

Iceless is made of ice and -less, where -less means 'without', just like in careless. So iceless means 'without ice' and is used for drinks or places that have no ice.
