Morphology

prolificness = prolific (transparent) = prolific + ness

Formed by the adjective 'prolific' plus the productive nominalizing suffix '-ness', so the meaning is directly the quality of being prolific.

Etymology

Prolificness comes from Latin roots proles 'offspring' and facere 'to make', so it originally had the idea of 'making many offspring'. So, prolificness now means the quality of producing many things, whether books, crops, ideas, or children.
