Morphology
doucheness = douche (semi-transparent) = douche + ness
The formation is a regular noun from 'douche' + '-ness', but the meaning depends on the slang sense of 'douche' rather than the word's medical sense, so some learners may be confused.
Etymology
Doucheness comes from the insult douche, originally meaning a 'washing' device, plus -ness meaning 'state'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of someone so rude and annoying they are called a 'douche', so doucheness is that kind of offensive or rude behavior.
