Morphology

temperateness = temperate (transparent) = temperate + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'temperate', yielding the quality 'being temperate', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Temperateness comes from the Latin verb temperare, which means 'to mix' or 'to keep in balance', and it shares its root with temperature; think of weather that is 'well mixed'—not too hot and not too cold. So, temperateness means a mild, moderate climate.
