Morphology

tepidness = tepid (transparent) = tepid + ness

The suffix '-ness' is a common English suffix used to form nouns indicating a state or quality from adjectives.

Etymology

Tepidness comes from the old Latin word tepidus, which means 'lukewarm', and the ending -ness turns it into a state. So, tepidness describes being only a little warm, like bathwater that is not hot but not cold.
