Standard noun formation from the adjective 'breathless' using the productive suffix '-ness' to denote the state or quality.
Etymology
The word breathlessness comes from three simple parts: breath meaning 'the air you take into your lungs', -less meaning 'without', and -ness meaning 'a state'. So breathlessness means 'a state of being without breath', which is why we use it for shortness of breath or trouble breathing after activity.
