Morphology
immoderation = immoderate (transparent) = im + moderate + ion
Formed by a regular noun derivation from the adjective 'immoderate' with the productive suffix '-ion', so the meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
Immoderation starts with im- meaning 'not' and shares the root with moderate, which means to keep things within a 'measure' or limit. So immoderation is the state of doing things 'without limit' or 'too much'.
