Morphology

noble-mindedness = noble-minded (transparent) = noble + minded + ness

The adjective 'noble-minded' (noble + -minded) clearly denotes having a noble mind, and adding '-ness' yields the quality/state, a straightforward noun formation.

Etymology

Noble-mindedness combines noble (meaning 'high' or 'honourable') and mind (meaning 'thoughts' or 'attitude'), so it shows a person whose thoughts are 'high' and good. That's why noble-mindedness means having strong moral ideals and acting with fairness and generosity.
