Morphology
sidedness = sided (transparent) = side + ed + ness
The sense of favouring one side follows directly from 'sided' (as in 'one-sided' or 'partisan') and the noun-forming '-ness'.
Etymology
Sidedness comes from side 'one part or group' and -ness 'quality', so think of 'taking a side' in an argument; sidedness is the quality of favoring one side or showing bias.
