Morphology

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

Formed from the adjective 'seakindly' plus '-ness'; although structurally regular, the meaning is nautical and may not be fully deducible by average learners.

Etymology

Seakindliness joins sea ('the ocean') and kind (as in kindness, 'gentle'). Think of a person who is 'kind' to the sea and stays steady without feeling ill, so the word means being comfortable and not getting seasick at sea.
