Morphology

brand-newness = brand-new (semi-transparent) = brand + new + ness

The suffix '-ness' transparently forms a noun, but 'brand-new' is an idiomatic intensifier whose exact nuance may not be predictable from 'brand' + 'new' for all learners.

Etymology

The word brand-newness comes from brand-new, where brand once meant 'burn' or a 'hot mark' used on things when they were made. So brand-newness is the state of being completely fresh, like something just made and never used.
