Morphology
progressiveness = progressive (transparent) = progress + ive + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'progressive', itself transparently derived from 'progress' + '-ive', so the meaning is directly predictable from the base.
Etymology
Progressiveness comes from the everyday word progress, which means 'moving forward' or making things better, plus the ending -ness that turns it into a 'quality'. So progressiveness is the quality of supporting change and improvement, like a desire to move forward rather than stay the same.
