Morphology
supernaturalness = supernatural (transparent) = super + natural + ness
Forming the noun by adding '-ness' to the adjective 'supernatural' is a regular and predictable derivation.
Etymology
Supernaturalness comes from the prefix super ('above' or 'over'), like in superhero, and natural ('nature' or 'the natural world'), plus -ness ('state'). So, supernaturalness is the 'state of being above nature', which is why we use it for things like ghosts or magic that seem beyond the normal world.
