Morphology

speediness = speedy (transparent) = speed + y + ness

Formed from the adjective 'speedy' with the noun-forming suffix '-ness', meaning the quality of being speedy.

Etymology

Speediness comes from the simple word speed, which means 'quickness', plus the ending -ness, which makes a noun meaning 'a quality' or 'state'. So speediness is the 'quality of being quick'.
