Morphology

datedness = dated (transparent) = date + d + ness

The suffix '-ness' forms a noun indicating a state or quality from the adjective 'dated'.

Etymology

Datedness also comes from date ('a specific day') plus the ending -ness ('the state of'), so it can mean the fact of being marked by or having a particular date — for example, a contract or report that shows when it was made.
