Morphology
towardness = toward (semi-transparent) = toward + ness
Formed by the adjective 'toward' + '-ness', but the adjective sense 'friendly/favourable' is somewhat uncommon, so the meaning may not be obvious to learners familiar only with the directional sense.
Etymology
Towardness comes from toward and the ending -ness, and toward long meant 'favorable' or 'friendly'. So, towardness is the quality of being friendly or helpful because you are 'favorable' toward someone.
