Morphology

almightiness = almighty (transparent) = almighty + ness

Standard noun formation from the adjective 'almighty' with '-ness' producing 'the state or quality of being almighty', so meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Almightiness comes from the parts all ('everything') and might ('power' or 'strength'). So almightiness means the state of being completely powerful, the 'all-powerful' quality people often give to God or a supreme ruler.
