Morphology

healthiness = healthy (transparent) = health + y + ness

Formed from the common adjective 'healthy' + the nominalizing suffix '-ness', so the meaning 'state of being healthy' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word healthiness starts from the word health, which originally meant 'wholeness' and is related to heal and whole, and the ending -ness means 'the state of'. So healthiness means 'the state of being healthy' in both body and mind.
