Morphology

breeziness = breezy (transparent) = breeze + y + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'breezy' (breeze + -y), yielding a straightforward nominalization meaning 'the quality of being breezy' in the literal wind sense.

Etymology

Breeziness comes from breeze, which means 'a light wind', plus the ending -ness that makes a state or quality. So breeziness is the quality or state of being gently windy.
