Morphology

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

Derived from 'plot' (scheme/secret plan) + '-less' to mean 'without plots' and then '-ness'; the negative and nominalizing morphology is transparent.

Etymology

Plotlessness is built from plot ('a secret plan' or 'scheme') plus -less ('without') and -ness (a quality). So it means the state of having no plans or hidden schemes, like a group that acts openly with no secret agenda.
