The noun is a regular nominalization of the adjective 'overaggressive' using the productive suffix '-ness'.
Etymology
Overaggressiveness joins the prefix over- meaning 'too much' and aggressive, which comes from a word for 'attack', so you can picture a person who 'attacks' or pushes too hard; that's why overaggressiveness means acting too forcefully or too hostilely.
