Morphology
repetitiveness = repetitive (transparent) = repeat + ive + ness
Formed regularly from the adjective 'repetitive' with the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to mark the quality or state.
Etymology
Repetitiveness comes from the verb repeat and the prefix re-, which means 'again', with -ness to make it a noun, so you can think of a song line you hear 'again and again' as a memory hook. So repetitiveness is the quality of doing the same thing 'again and again', which is why it often feels boring or long.
