Morphology

classiness = classy (transparent) = class + y + ness

The noun is regularly formed from the adjective 'classy' with '-ness' to denote the quality of being classy.

Etymology

Classiness comes from the simple word class, which once meant a 'group' or a 'rank', plus the parts -y and -ness. Think of classic or classy—things that show good taste—so classiness is the 'quality' of being elegant and stylish.
