intuitiveness = intuitive (transparent) = intuitive + ness

Formed by adding the productive nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'intuitive', yielding a straightforward noun meaning 'the quality of being intuitive'.

Etymology

Intuitiveness comes from intuition, a word built on a Latin verb that meant 'to look' or 'to see'. So, when a product or app has good intuitiveness, you can almost 'see' how to use it right away without instructions.
