Morphology

pleasingness = pleasing (transparent) = please + ing + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'pleasing' (itself from 'please'), so the meaning is directly recoverable.

Etymology

The word pleasingness comes from the simple verb please plus the parts -ing and -ness, meaning 'the state of being pleasing'. Think of pleasant, which makes you feel good, so pleasingness is the quality that gives 'pleasure' or 'satisfaction'.
