Morphology
extraordinariness = extraordinary (transparent) = extra + ordinary + ness
The adjective 'extraordinary' clearly means 'beyond ordinary' and the noun-forming suffix '-ness' straightforwardly yields 'the quality of being extraordinary'.
Etymology
Extraordinariness comes from extra- meaning 'beyond' and ordinary meaning 'normal' or 'usual'. So, it literally says 'beyond the usual', which is why we use it for something very unusual, remarkable, or exceptional.
