Morphology
neglectfulness = neglectful (transparent) = neglect + ful + ness
Formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'neglectful'; the meaning 'state of being neglectful' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Neglectfulness comes from neglect, which comes from Latin parts ne- meaning 'not' and legere meaning 'to pick or gather', the same root you see in collect. So to neglect is like 'not picking up' or 'not taking care', and neglectfulness is the habit of not paying attention to duties or things you should look after.
