Morphology

dankness = dank (semi-transparent) = dank + ness

The word is still built regularly from 'dank' + '-ness', but the slang sense depends on a specialized figurative meaning of 'dank' that is not fully predictable for all learners.

Etymology

Dankness in slang comes from the same old word dank, which meant 'damp' or 'musty' and was used to praise very strong-smelling marijuana, and people later used it to mean 'excellent' for memes and jokes. So, dankness can mean how impressive or very cool something is online.
