Surface Forms

Morphology

passionateness = passionate (transparent) = passion + ate + ness

Formed by the regular nominalization of 'passionate' with '-ness'; the base 'passionate' is itself transparently derived from 'passion'.

Etymology

Passionateness comes from passion, which means 'very strong feeling', and from the endings -ate and -ness, like in passionate, that turn it into a state or quality. So passionateness means the quality of having deep, strong emotions.
