Morphology

committedness = committed (transparent) = commit + ed + ness

The noun is formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'committed', whose meaning is directly related to 'commit'.

Etymology

Committedness comes from the verb commit, which originally meant to 'give' or 'entrust' something to someone and is built from parts com- 'together' and mittere 'to send'. So being committed is like giving yourself to a person, cause, or goal, and committedness is the steady quality of staying loyal and focused.
