Morphology

identicalness = identical (transparent) = identical + ness

Formed from the adjective 'identical' with the productive noun-forming suffix '-ness', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Identicalness comes from the word identical, which means 'the same', plus the ending -ness that makes a noun meaning a 'quality'. Like the related word identity, it names the idea of being exactly the same.
