Morphology

feasibleness = feasible (transparent) = feasible + ness

Formed by the adjective 'feasible' plus the nominalizing suffix '-ness', yielding a straightforward abstract noun meaning.

Etymology

The word feasibleness comes from the adjective feasible, which goes back to the old Latin root facere meaning 'to make' or 'do', plus the ending -ness that makes a noun. So feasibleness is the 'quality of being able to be made' — in other words, how 'doable' or possible something is.
