Morphology
reflectiveness = reflective (transparent) = reflect + ive + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'reflective', yielding the direct meaning 'the quality of being reflective'.
Etymology
Reflectiveness comes from reflect, made of re- ('back') and flect ('to bend'), so think of light 'bouncing' off a mirror. That's why being reflective is like 'sending back' your thoughts to look at them carefully and think deeply.
