Morphology

peerlessness = peerless (transparent) = peer + less + ness

Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'peerless', which itself transparently means 'without peers'.

Etymology

Peerlessness comes from the simple word peer, which means 'equal' as in the word 'peers' meaning people of the same rank, plus the parts -less meaning 'without' and -ness meaning 'the state of'. So peerlessness is the 'state of having no equals', which is why it means having no rival or match.
