restrictiveness = restrictive (transparent) = restrict + ive + ness
Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to 'restrictive'; the semantic progression from limiting to the quality of limiting is regular.
Etymology
The word restrictiveness comes from restrict, with strict originally meaning 'to tighten'. So when people talk about restrictiveness in rules or behaviour, they mean the 'tightening' that limits freedom or choice.
