Morphology

gaseousness = gaseous (transparent) = gas + eous + ness

Standard nominalization of the adjective 'gaseous' with '-ness' giving the state or quality of being gaseous.

Etymology

Gaseousness comes from the simple word gas, which means 'air-like' matter, plus the endings -ous ('full of') and -ness ('state of being'). So gaseousness means the 'state of being like a gas', which explains why we use it to describe how a substance behaves when it is in gas form.
