Morphology
conclusiveness = conclusive (transparent) = conclusive + ness
Formed regularly by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'conclusive', yielding the quality of being decisive.
Etymology
Conclusiveness comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and claud-/clud- 'to close', the same idea behind the English word close. So, something with conclusiveness 'closes' a question or argument and leaves no doubt.
