Morphology

subjectiveness = subjective (transparent) = subject + ive + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to 'subjective', producing the expected meaning 'the quality of being subjective'.

Etymology

Subjectiveness comes from the word subject, which itself comes from the Latin parts sub- 'under' and jacere 'to throw', originally meaning 'placed under'. So subjectiveness is the quality of being based on a person's own view or feelings, not on outside facts, like a private opinion rather than an 'object' fact.
