Morphology
conscientiousness = conscientious (semi-transparent) = conscience + ious + ness
Forming a noun from the adjective 'conscientious' with the productive suffix '-ness' yields the meaning 'the quality or state of being conscientious' in a straightforward way.
Etymology
Conscientiousness comes from the word conscience, the inner feeling that tells you 'right and wrong', and that older word is built from con- and scire meaning 'with' and 'to know'. So, conscientiousness is being careful and responsible because you 'know' and want to do what is right.
