Morphology

seakindliness = seakindly (semi-transparent) = sea + kind + ly + ness

Built from 'seakindly' + '-ness'; components 'sea' + 'kind' + '-ly' are recognizable, but the specialized nautical meaning may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Seakindliness joins sea ('the ocean') and kind (as in kindness, 'gentle'). It paints the idea of a ship that is 'kind' to people on board by staying steady and comfortable in rough water, which is why it means a vessel's comfort and stability.
