Surface Forms

hotness singular
hotnesses plural

Morphology

hotness = hot (semi-transparent) = hot + ness

This sense derives from the figurative 'hot' = sexually attractive/aroused; the nominalization forms an abstract state but carries idiomatic social meanings that may not be fully predictable for all learners.

Etymology

The word hotness used for sexual attraction comes from hot, which kept the idea of 'heat' and was used to describe strong desire or excitement. So hotness can mean 'sexual excitement' or being strongly attractive.
