Morphology
permissiveness = permissive (transparent) = permit + ness
Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'permissive', producing the state or quality of being permissive.
Etymology
Permissiveness comes from the verb permit, which means 'to allow'. So permissiveness is the tendency to give more freedom or fewer rules, which is why we use it for parents, schools, or societies that allow more behaviour or choices.
