The noun is formed regularly from the adjective 'contemporaneous' with the productive suffix '-ness'.
Etymology
Contemporaneousness comes from two older parts: con- meaning 'with' and tempor- from tempus meaning 'time', the same part you see in temporary and tempo. So, it means the quality of happening at the 'same time' as something else.
