Morphology

grooviness = groovy (semi-transparent) = groovy + ness

While the suffix '-ness' is transparent, the shift from 'groove' to 'groovy' involves a semantic leap to fashion and style.

Etymology

Grooviness comes from groovy, a 1960s slang that grew from the idea of being 'in the groove' when music and style felt smooth and cool. So grooviness means being fashionable or attractive in a fun, relaxed way.
