Morphology

conceitedness = conceited (transparent) = conceit + ed + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'conceited', producing the state of being conceited.

Etymology

Conceitedness comes from conceit, which long ago meant a strong 'thought' or 'idea' someone held about themselves and is from the same root as conceive meaning 'to form' an idea. So conceitedness is the quality of having too high an idea of your own worth, or being overly proud of yourself.
