Morphology
changeableness = changeable (transparent) = change + able + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'changeable', producing a straightforward abstract noun.
Etymology
Changeableness starts with change 'to make different' and adds -able 'can be' and -ness 'state or quality', so it means the quality of being able to change. Think of a weather vane that keeps turning: its changeableness is its tendency to change often and without warning.
