Morphology

palatableness = palatable (semi-transparent) = palate + able + ness

Forming a noun with '-ness' from an adjective is a regular, productive process and the meaning (the quality of being palatable) is directly derived.

Etymology

Palatableness comes from palatable plus the ending -ness, and palatable comes from palate, the 'roof of the mouth' that helps us taste. So, palatableness means the quality of being pleasant or acceptable to the taste.
