Morphology

excitableness = excitable (transparent) = excite + able + ness

Formed from the adjective 'excitable' (excite + -able) with the nominalizing '-ness', so the meaning is directly the quality of being easily excited.

Etymology

Excitableness comes from the verb excite, which comes from Latin excitare, meaning 'to call out' or 'to rouse'. So, like excitable, it names the quality of being easily excited or aroused.
