Morphology

dewiness = dewy (transparent) = dewy + ness

The word 'dewiness' is transparently derived from 'dewy' by adding the suffix '-ness', indicating a state or quality.

Etymology

Dewiness comes from the small word dew, the little drops of water that form on grass in the morning, plus the ending -ness, which means 'state' or 'quality'. So, dewiness means being fresh and slightly wet, like morning grass or a dewy face.
