Morphology
inquisitiveness = inquisitive (transparent) = inquisitive + ness
Formed by the productive nominalizing suffix '-ness' attached to the adjective 'inquisitive', so the meaning is directly 'the quality of being inquisitive'.
Etymology
The word inquisitiveness comes from Latin parts in- and quisit-, where quisit- means 'to seek' or 'to ask', and it shares this root with the familiar word question. So inquisitiveness is the strong desire to look for answers and to ask about things.
