Morphology
comfortableness = comfortable (transparent) = comfort + able + ness
Built by standard adjective-to-noun suffixation (comfortable + -ness); the meaning follows directly from 'comfortable'.
Etymology
Comfortableness comes from comfort plus the endings -able and -ness; comfort once meant 'to make strong' and later came to mean 'to make feel better', so think of it as giving strength or ease. That's why comfortableness means the state of being 'comfortable' or 'at ease'.
