Morphology
boisterousness = boisterous (semi-transparent) = boister + ous + ness
Forming a noun with '-ness' from the adjective 'boisterous' is a regular and predictable derivation.
Etymology
The word boisterousness grew from the same old idea of 'rough' or 'violent', often used to talk about wild weather or the sea, so imagine waves that crash and move loudly. That's why boisterousness can mean the stormy, wild state of the ocean.
