Morphology

freeness = free (transparent) = free + ness

Formed by the regular noun-forming suffix '-ness' on 'free'; the meaning 'state or quality of being free' is directly derived, though in algebra it is a technical extension.

Etymology

Freeness comes from free + -ness, where free once meant 'not tied' or 'not bound' in old English and German. So in math, freeness means the parts are not tied together by extra rules, which is why every element can be written in one clear way.
