Morphology

precipitateness = precipitate (transparent) = precipitate + ness

A straightforward noun formation from the adjective 'precipitate' using the productive suffix '-ness' meaning 'the quality of being ...', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word precipitateness comes from the Latin root praeceps, which means 'head first' and gives us precipice (a steep cliff). So precipitateness describes doing something suddenly or in a hurry, as if rushing headlong without thinking.
