Morphology

sinless = sin (transparent) = sin + less

A straightforward negative derivation: 'sin' + '-less' = without sin; learners can directly compose the meaning from the parts.

Etymology

The word sinless is made of sin and -less, where sin means 'a wrong action' and -less means 'without', just like in careless. So sinless means 'without' sin, describing someone pure or innocent.
