Morphology

joyfulness = joyful (transparent) = joy + ful + ness

Formed by adding '-ness' to the adjective 'joyful', which itself is obviously 'joy' + '-ful'; the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word joyfulness comes from the simple word joy meaning 'great happiness', plus the parts -ful meaning 'full of' and -ness that make it a 'state'. So joyfulness literally means 'full of joy', which is why it describes being very happy.
