Morphology
sharp-sightedness = sharp-sighted (transparent) = sharp + sighted + ness
Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the clear adjective 'sharp-sighted', so the noun denotes the quality of having sharp sight.
Etymology
Sharp-sightedness joins sharp (like a knife: 'clear and exact') and sight ('seeing'), so it means having very clear vision that notices very small details.
