Morphology
outness = (semi-transparent) = out + ness
The word is built from 'out' + '-ness', but the identity-related meaning depends on a specialized social sense of 'out'. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Outness comes from out meaning 'not hidden' or 'open' and the ending -ness meaning 'a state'. Think of 'coming out' when someone tells others about themselves—outness is being open and public about who you are, especially about sexual orientation.
