Morphology

plotlessness = plotless (transparent) = plot + less + ness

Formed by 'plot' (plot of land) + '-less' to make 'plotless', then '-ness' to form the noun; the land-related sense is directly signalled by the components.

Etymology

Plotlessness comes from plot ('a small piece of land') together with -less ('without') and -ness (a quality). So it describes a place that has no plots to build or grow on, like a town with no garden spaces.
