Morphology
thoughtfulness = thoughtful (transparent) = thought + ful + ness
Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'thoughtful' (itself 'thought' + '-ful'); the meaning 'the quality of being thoughtful (considerate)' follows directly.
Etymology
Thoughtfulness comes from thought (the same root as think) plus -ful and -ness, so it means 'full of thought'. That's why thoughtfulness describes being kind and careful about other people's needs and feelings.
