Morphology
downheartedness = downhearted (transparent) = down + heart + ed + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the clearly compositional adjective 'downhearted', so the state meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word downheartedness comes from down ('low') and heart ('feelings'), the same heart you see in heartbroken, and -ness ('state of'). So, downheartedness is the state of having a 'low' heart, meaning feeling sad or discouraged.
