Morphology

connectedness = connected (transparent) = connect + ed + ness

Formed by adding '-ness' to 'connected' (itself 'connect' + '-ed'), giving a clear state or quality.

Etymology

The word connectedness comes from connect, which is built from con- meaning 'together' and nect meaning 'to bind', so picture things tied together. The ending -ness means 'a state', so connectedness is the state of being joined or having relationships.
