Morphology

haziness = hazy (transparent) = haze + y + ness

Formed from the adjective 'hazy' by adding '-ness'; 'hazy' itself is transparently from 'haze' + '-y'.

Etymology

Haziness comes from the word haze, which means 'mist' or 'vapor' that makes the air less clear. So haziness can describe the real, physical state when mist or smoke blurs what you see.
