Morphology

faultlessness = faultless (transparent) = fault + less + ness

Formed by a clear adjective 'faultless' plus the nominalizing '-ness', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word faultlessness comes from fault ('mistake'), the ending -less ('without'), and -ness ('state'). So it means the 'state of being without mistakes', like a smooth surface with no cracks, perfect and without error.
