Morphology

lucidness = lucid (transparent) = lucid + ness

Standard nominalization of the adjective 'lucid' with '-ness' meaning 'the quality of being clear', which is directly derivable for learners.

Etymology

Lucidness comes from the Latin root lux, meaning 'light', and the adjective lucid once meant 'full of light'. So lucidness is like 'lighting up' an idea, which is why it means being clear and easy to understand.
