Morphology
bothersomeness = bothersome (transparent) = bother + some + ness
Standard noun formation from the adjective 'bothersome' (itself transparently formed from 'bother' + '-some'), so the nominalized meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Bothersomeness comes from the simple verb bother, which means 'annoy', plus the ending -some meaning 'causing' and -ness meaning 'state'. So, bothersomeness is the state of causing annoyance or trouble.
