Morphology

airtightness = airtight (semi-transparent) = air + tight + ness

Morphologically this is the regular formation from the adjective 'airtight' plus '-ness'.

Etymology

The word airtightness comes from air + tight + -ness, where tight shows 'no gaps' and being fully closed. A helpful way to remember the second meaning is to imagine a plan or argument like a sealed box: if it is 'airtight' then no one can find a weak point or doubt it.
