Morphology

communicativeness = communicative (transparent) = communicate + ive + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'communicative', so the meaning (the quality of being communicative) is directly derived.

Etymology

The word communicativeness comes from the Latin communicare ('to share') and communis ('common'), the same root you see in common and community. So, being communicative means you share your thoughts and information so they become 'common' or known to others.
