Morphology

secureness = secure (transparent) = secure + ness

This is a regular noun formation from 'secure' meaning the state of being secure or firmly fastened.

Etymology

Secureness comes from Latin parts se- 'without' and cura 'care', and over time this idea also came to mean 'made safe' or 'fastened', just like in secure. That's why secureness can mean something is firmly fixed and you do not have to worry about it coming loose.
