Morphology
nondangerousness = nondangerous (transparent) = non + danger + ous + ness
Formed by applying a regular negation 'non-' to the adjective 'dangerous' and then the noun-forming suffix '-ness'; the meaning is directly deducible from 'danger' -> 'dangerous' -> 'nondangerous' -> 'nondangerousness'.
Etymology
Nondangerousness is built from non- ('not') + dangerous and the ending -ness ('state or quality'). So it means the 'state of not being dangerous', in other words being safe.
