Morphology

savorlessness = savorless (transparent) = savor + less + ness

Formed by adding '-ness' to the clearly derived adjective 'savorless' (savor + -less); the meaning follows standard English word-formation.

Etymology

Savorlessness comes from the word savor, the same part as savory, plus the endings -less and -ness, and the older Latin word sapor means 'taste'. So, savorlessness is the state of being 'without taste', which is why we use it for food that has no flavor.
