Morphology
exhaustiveness = exhaustive (transparent) = exhaust + ive + ness
A straightforward nominalization of the adjective 'exhaustive' with '-ness' meaning the state or quality.
Etymology
Exhaustiveness comes from exhaust ('use up') and the ending -ness that turns a word into a quality or state. A helpful image is checking everything until there is nothing left to check, so exhaustiveness means being very thorough and including all details.
