Morphology

muchness = much (transparent) = much + ness

Regular noun formation from the adjective 'much' with the productive suffix '-ness'; the meaning is directly predictable as 'the state or quality of being much', though the word is uncommon.

Etymology

The word muchness comes from much + -ness, where much means 'a large amount' and -ness turns that into a 'state' or 'thing'. So, muchness means 'a great amount'.
