Morphology

invaluableness = invaluable (semi-transparent) = in + value + able + ness

The noun is formed regularly from the adjective 'invaluable', but the adjective itself can mislead learners because 'in-' appears negative while 'invaluable' means 'extremely valuable'.

Etymology

Invaluableness comes from invaluable, which is built on value plus the ending -ness. Although in- often means 'not', in invaluable it works like 'beyond' or 'too great to measure', so invaluableness means being 'so valuable it is priceless'.
