Morphology

raciness = racy (transparent) = racy + ness

The noun is a straightforward nominalization of the adjective 'racy', here in the sense 'having a strong, stimulating taste or smell'.

Etymology

Raciness comes from racy, which also meant 'full of flavor' or 'strong in taste', a helpful way to remember how something can be sharp and lively. So raciness in food or drink means a strong, exciting smell or taste that wakes up the senses.
