Morphology

levelness = level (transparent) = level + ness

Formed regularly from the adjective 'level' with the productive noun-forming suffix '-ness', so the meaning is the state or quality of being level.

Etymology

Levelness comes from the common word level plus the ending -ness, which means 'state or quality'. Level once named a small balancing tool used to make a surface flat, so levelness means the 'even' or 'flat' state of something.
