Morphology

trueness = true (transparent) = true + ness

A straightforward nominalization: 'true' (loyal/faithful) + '-ness' yields the quality of being loyal, which learners can derive from the adjective.

Etymology

Trueness comes from an old English word trēowe that meant 'faithful' or 'loyal', and it is the same root as the modern word true. So trueness can mean the quality of being loyal and steady to people or causes.
