Surface Forms

togetherness singular

Morphology

togetherness = together (transparent) = together + ness

The noun is directly formed from 'together' with the productive suffix '-ness' to indicate the state or quality of being together.

Etymology

Togetherness starts with together, which is about people coming 'together' or gathering, and the ending -ness turns that idea into a 'state' or feeling. So togetherness is the warm, close feeling of being united and supporting one another.
