Morphology

bindingness = binding (transparent) = bind + ing + ness

The adjectival 'binding' meaning 'able to bind' plus the nominalizing '-ness' yields a directly inferable property noun.

Etymology

Bindingness comes from the verb bind 'to tie' plus -ness to show a quality. So, it simply means how well something can join or hold parts together, which is why we test materials and glues for their bindingness.
