gladsomeness singular

Morphology

gladsomeness = gladsome (transparent) = glad + some + ness

The suffix '-ness' clearly transforms the adjective 'gladsome' into a noun indicating a state or quality.

Etymology

Gladsomeness comes from the simple word glad, which long ago also meant 'bright' as well as 'happy', plus the parts -some and -ness that make it a noun about a feeling. So, gladsomeness means the state of being 'glad' or full of joyful feeling.
