Morphology

voidness = void (transparent) = void + ness

Standard nominalization of the adjective 'void' to indicate the state or quality of emptiness.

Etymology

Voidness comes from void (Latin vacuus 'empty') plus -ness. So it simply means the state of being empty or having nothing inside, a sense you can compare to the words vacant or vacuum, and to the hollow feeling after a loss.
