Morphology

meetness = meet (semi-transparent) = meet + ness

The formation 'meet' + '-ness' is morphologically regular, but the adjective 'meet' is relatively formal or archaic and may be unfamiliar to many learners, so full transparency is limited.

Etymology

Meetness comes from the old adjective meet, which meant 'suitable' or 'fit' and not the 'meet' that means 'to meet someone'. So, meetness names the quality of being right or proper for a situation.
