Morphology

bizarreness = bizarre (transparent) = bizarre + ness

The suffix '-ness' is a standard way to form a noun indicating a state or quality from an adjective.

Etymology

Bizarreness comes from the adjective bizarre, which came to English from French and Italian. One popular idea links it to a Basque word bizar meaning 'beard', so imagine a person with a very strange beard to remember it, and bizarreness is the quality of being very 'strange' or 'out of the ordinary'.
