collectiveness = collective (transparent) = collect + ive + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the readily recognized adjective 'collective'.
Etymology
Collectiveness comes from collect, which is built on an old root meaning 'to gather' and 'together' and is the same idea behind collection. So, collectiveness means the quality of being gathered, shared, or done by a group rather than by individuals.
