Morphology

fallenness = fallen (transparent) = fall + en + ness

Derived directly from 'fallen' (physically collapsed or ruined) with '-ness' denoting the state, a literal and straightforward formation.

Etymology

Fallenness comes from fall ('to drop down') plus -ness ('state'), so it simply means 'the state of being fallen'. This image of things lying down or broken helps explain why the word describes a physical collapse or a ruined condition.
