clearness
Easy to understand
Clearness is the quality of being clear—free from obstruction, cloudiness, or ambiguity.
The word applies to transparent substances the clearness of the water, to weather the clearness of the sky, and to expression the clearness of her explanation.
Clarity is more common in most contexts, but clearness persists, especially when describing physical transparency.
