Morphology
susceptibleness = susceptible (transparent) = susceptible + ness
Formation is a straightforward nominalization of the adjective 'susceptible' with '-ness', yielding 'the quality of being susceptible'.
Etymology
Susceptibleness comes from a root that means 'to take' — the same -cept- you find in accept, and the ending -ible means 'able'. So susceptibleness is the quality of being able to 'take on' feelings, ideas, or illness, which is why it means 'easily affected or influenced'.
