Morphology

goldenness = golden (transparent) = gold + en + ness

The formation 'golden' + '-ness' is a standard adjective-to-noun nominalization expressing the quality of being golden in colour or appearance.

Etymology

Goldenness comes from gold plus the ending -ness; gold is the shiny yellow metal people value, so goldenness means 'being like gold' in color or appearance.
