Morphology

princeliness = princely (transparent) = prince + ly + ness

Formed from the adjective 'princely' (prince + -ly) with the noun-forming suffix '-ness', giving the straightforward meaning 'the state or quality of being princely'.

Etymology

Princeliness comes from prince ('a royal person') plus the ending -ness ('a state or quality'). It means being like a prince — grand, dignified, or noble — so imagine the calm, proud air of a palace to remember it.
