Morphology
overness = (semi-transparent) = over + ness
The suffix '-ness' is transparently added to 'over', but the abstract noun 'overness' as 'excess or superiority' is not a common or fully predictable derivation. [Postprocessing: moved 'over' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Overness comes from the familiar English part over, which means 'above' or 'too much', just like in overall or overdo. So overness is the state of being 'over' something — being above or superior, or being too much or excessive.
