Morphology

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

Morphologically regular ('golden' + '-ness'), but the sense 'warm, rich, resonant quality' is metaphorical and not directly predictable from the literal colour for all learners.

Etymology

Goldenness comes from golden (from gold) and the ending -ness; people call a warm, rich light or sound 'golden', so goldenness means 'a warm, rich quality' in tone or look.
