Morphology

pulpiness = pulpy (transparent) = pulp + y + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to 'pulpy'; the meaning 'the quality of being pulpy' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Pulpiness comes from the word pulp, which once meant the soft, wet 'flesh' inside fruit or meat. So, to talk about someone's juice or food having pulpiness is to say it is soft and mushy, just like the inside of a ripe orange or mango.
