Morphology

seamlessness = seamless (transparent) = seam + less + ness

Formed by a standard noun-forming suffix '-ness' added to the adjective 'seamless', so the meaning 'state of being without seams' is directly derived.

Etymology

Seamlessness comes from seam, a join in cloth, and the ending -less, which means 'without'. Think of cloth with no stitches, smooth and continuous, and that picture explains why we use the word for a smooth change or a clean app interface.
