Morphology

drippiness = drippy (opaque) = drip + y + ness

The slang sense ('stylishness') is a semantic shift from literal 'drip' and is not predictable from the base by most learners.

Etymology

Drippiness is used in modern slang from drip, which people say comes from being 'dripping with jewels' (one popular story). So drippiness means having a flashy, showy, or very fashionable look.
