Morphology
tempestuousness = tempestuous (semi-transparent) = tempest + uous + ness
Forming the noun from the adjective with '-ness' is regular, but the adjective 'tempestuous' is a figurative extension of 'tempest' (storm), so the relation is partly metaphorical.
Etymology
The word tempestuousness comes from tempest, which means 'storm', and from the Latin tempestās. So it describes feelings or situations that are wild, strong, and like a storm.
