Morphology

welcomeness = welcome (transparent) = welcome + ness

The noun is a straightforward derivation from the adjective 'welcome' with the productive nominalizer '-ness' meaning 'the quality of being welcome'.

Etymology

Welcomeness comes from welcome plus the ending -ness. Welcome began as an old English word for a 'desired guest', made from parts like will 'wish' and come 'arrive', so welcomeness is the 'quality' of making someone feel welcome.
