Morphology

trustiness = trusty (transparent) = trust + iness

The suffix '-ness' is transparently added to 'trusty' to form a noun indicating a state or quality.

Etymology

Trustiness comes from the old word trust, which meant 'help' or 'confidence' and makes you think of someone you can lean on. The ending -ness means 'state' or 'quality', as in happiness, so trustiness is the 'state of' being someone or something you can rely on.
