Morphology

freshness = fresh (transparent) = fresh + ness

Derived directly from 'fresh' in the sense 'new/original'; 'freshness of ideas' meaning novelty is a transparent extension of 'being new'.

Etymology

Freshness comes from the same root as fresh and refresh, which mean 'new' or 'made new'. So when we praise the freshness of an idea or story, we mean its 'newness' or surprising quality.
