Etymology of STEAMINESSES

The word "steaminesses" appears to be a derivative of the word "steamy" with the addition of the suffix "-nesses".

The word "steamy" dates back to the mid-19th century and is primarily associated with the idea of producing or giving off steam, as in the context of steam engines and heated liquids. It also obtained a metaphorical meaning of being sexually suggestive or seductive, particularly in regards to writing or films with explicit content. It is likely that "steaminesses" was formed by adding the plural suffix "-es" to "steamy" and then adding the suffix "-ness" to indicate the quality or state of being steamy or sexually suggestive.

However, it's worth noting that "steaminesses" is not a commonly used word in modern English, and you might find variants like "steams" or "steaminess" to be more widely recognized and used.
