Morphology

safeness = safe (transparent) = safe + ness

The noun is a standard nominalization formed from the adjective 'safe' with the productive suffix '-ness', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Safeness comes from the common word safe plus the ending -ness; safe means 'not in danger' and -ness shows a 'state' or condition. So safeness simply means the 'state of' being safe or free from danger, much like the familiar word safety.
