Morphology

hardiness = hardy (transparent) = hardy + ness

Etymology

Hardiness comes from the word hardy, which comes from an old French word hardi meaning 'strong' or 'bold', and is related to English hard meaning 'tough'. So hardiness is being 'tough' enough to survive bad weather, illness, or other difficult conditions.
