Morphology
nauseatingness = nauseating (transparent) = nauseate + ing + ness
Forming a noun from the adjective 'nauseating' with the regular suffix '-ness' yields a predictable meaning.
Etymology
The word nauseatingness comes from nausea, a word meaning 'sickness' or 'sea-sickness', like the sick feeling on a rocking boat, and -ing plus -ness turn it into a state or quality. So, nauseatingness is the 'quality' of making someone feel sick or very disgusted, which explains its use for strong unpleasant tastes, smells, or scenes.
