Morphology

haleness = hale (transparent) = hale + ness

Direct, regular noun formation from the adjective 'hale' with the productive suffix '-ness'; the meaning 'condition of being hale' is predictable.

Etymology

Haleness comes from the old English word hale meaning 'whole' or 'healthy', and the ending -ness turns it into a state or condition. So, think of haleness as being 'whole and strong', which is why it means robust good health.
