Morphology
immoderateness = immoderate (transparent) = im + moderate + ness
The noun is formed by adding the productive nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the clearly negated adjective 'immoderate', yielding the expected meaning.
Etymology
Immoderateness is made from the parts im- ('not'), moderate ('kept within limits' or 'not too much'), and -ness (which makes a noun). So, it means the state of 'not being moderate' — in other words, being excessive or doing things too much.
