Morphology

sphericalness = spherical (transparent) = sphere + ical + ness

The noun is a regular formation from the adjective 'spherical' using the productive suffix '-ness', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word sphericalness comes from the Greek word sphaira, which means 'ball' or 'globe' and is the same root you see in sphere. So, sphericalness is the quality of being like a ball or having a round, globe shape.
