Morphology

horniness = horny (transparent) = horn + y + ness

The noun is a regular nominalization of the adjective 'horny' with '-ness', meaning 'the state of being horny'.

Etymology

Horniness comes from horny, which originally meant 'having horns' and comes from horn. Over time horny became a slang word for 'sexually excited', so horniness means a state of sexual desire.
