Morphology

creativeness = creative (transparent) = create + ive + ness

Formed by adding the standard noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'creative' (itself 'create' + '-ive'), producing the quality of being creative.

Etymology

The word creativeness comes from the old Latin word creare, which means 'to make', and it shares the same root as create and creation. So, creativeness is the ability to 'make' new ideas or things, which is why it means inventiveness.
