Morphology

achiness = achy (transparent) = achy + ness

Formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'achy', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Achiness starts with the common word ache, which means 'a long, dull pain', and the ending -ness turns it into the state of having that pain. So, achiness is the mild, lasting body pain you feel after exercise or a cold.
