Morphology

restfulness = restful (transparent) = rest + ful + ness

The word 'restfulness' is transparently derived from 'restful' by adding the suffix '-ness', indicating a state or quality.

Etymology

Restfulness comes from the simple word rest ('to stop work or relax') plus the parts -ful ('full of') and -ness ('a state or quality'). So restfulness is the state of being full of rest, a peaceful and relaxed feeling.
