Morphology
relentlessness = relentless (transparent) = relent + less + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'relentless', producing a predictable abstract noun meaning 'the quality of being relentless'.
Etymology
Relentlessness comes from relent ('become less strong or less severe') and the ending -less ('without'), so it literally means 'without becoming less', like a storm that never calms or a person who never gives up.
