Morphology

placidness = placid (transparent) = placid + ness

The noun is a regular formation from the adjective 'placid' with the productive suffix '-ness', so its meaning is directly the state of being placid.

Etymology

Placidness comes from the Latin root plac- meaning 'to please' or 'to calm', the same root you see in please and placate. So placidness means the calm, soothing quality that makes a person or place quiet and peaceful.
