desirableness singular

Morphology

desirableness = desirable (transparent) = desire + able + ness

The suffix '-ness' is a standard way to form nouns indicating a state or quality from adjectives.

Etymology

Desirableness comes from desire meaning 'to want', plus the ending -able meaning 'able to be' (as in desirable) and -ness which turns it into a quality. So desirableness is the quality of being 'wanted' or attractive.
