Morphology

meatiness = meaty (transparent) = meat + y + ness

The adjective 'meaty' meaning resembling or having the qualities of meat combines with '-ness' in a predictable way to form a noun indicating that quality.

Etymology

Meatiness comes from meat 'food' or 'flesh' plus -ness for 'a quality', and a helpful way to remember it is to think of a 'meaty' mushroom stew that feels full and has deep taste; so meatiness means richness, body, or depth in food or ideas.
