Morphology

threeness = three (transparent) = three + ness

The meaning is a standard abstract noun formation from the numeral 'three' indicating the quality or state of being three.

Etymology

Threeness is made from three and the ending -ness, where three is the number and -ness turns a word into a 'quality' or 'state'. Think of a triangle or a trio — their threeness is the simple idea of having three parts, which is exactly what the word means.
