Morphology

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

The step meaty → meatiness is a regular nominalization, but 'meaty' used for sound is metaphorical, so the relation to 'meat' is indirect for this sense.

Etymology

Meatiness comes from the simple word meat meaning 'food' or 'flesh' and the ending -ness for a quality. Think of a singer's voice as a big, solid piece of meat — full, heavy and strong — and that image explains why meatiness describes a rich, powerful sound.
