amenableness singular

Morphology

amenableness = amenable (transparent) = amenable + ness

A straightforward nominalization formed by adding '-ness' to the adjective 'amenable', yielding the quality of being amenable.

Etymology

Amenableness comes from amenable plus the ending -ness, and amenable originally meant 'able to be led' or 'open to suggestions'. So, amenableness is the quality of being willing to cooperate or accept ideas.
