Morphology
imperishingness = imperishing (semi-transparent) = im + perish + ing + ness
The suffix '-ness' clearly denotes a state or quality derived from 'imperishing'.
Etymology
Imperishingness comes from the prefix im- ('not') plus the verb perish ('to die' or 'go away') and the ending -ness that makes a quality. So, imperishingness means the quality of 'not dying' or 'not being destroyed', like something 'everlasting' or very durable.
