Morphology

cloudlessness = cloudless (transparent) = cloud + less + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the clear adjective 'cloudless'.

Etymology

Cloudlessness is made from cloud plus -less ('without') and -ness ('a state'). So cloudlessness simply means the state of a sky that has 'no' clouds, a perfectly clear sky.
