Morphology

collectedness = collected (transparent) = collect + ed + ness

Standard formation: adjective 'collected' (having been gathered) + '-ness' yields the state of being gathered; the derivation is direct.

Etymology

Collectedness comes from the word collect, from Latin parts com- 'together' and legere 'to gather', and is the same root as collection. So collectedness can mean the state of things being 'gathered together' as a whole.
