Morphology

lustfulness = lustful (transparent) = lust + ful + ness

Formed by the standard noun-forming suffix '-ness' from the adjective 'lustful', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Lustfulness comes from the old English word lust, which meant 'desire' or 'pleasure', and the ending -ful meaning 'full of'. So, lustfulness literally means being 'full of desire', which is why it describes having strong sexual desire.
