Morphology

manifoldness = manifold (transparent) = manifold + ness

A direct nominalization: 'manifold' (noun) + '-ness' yields the state or property of being a manifold.

Etymology

Manifoldness comes from the parts many and fold, meaning 'many layers' or 'many ways'. In math, think of a manifold as a shape that may bend but, when you look close up, each small area looks like ordinary flat space, so manifoldness names this quality of being that kind of space.
