scarless = scar (transparent) = scar + less

A straightforward adjectival formation from 'scar' + '-less' meaning 'without scars', directly predictable from the components.

Etymology

The word scarless combines scar, which is 'a mark left on the skin after a wound', and the ending -less, which means 'without'. So scarless simply means 'without scars' or not leaving a scar, and it is easy to remember if you think of other words like harmless that use -less to mean 'without'.
