Morphology

racketiness = rackety (transparent) = racket + y + ness

Formed from the adjective 'rackety' (noisy) with the productive nominalizer '-ness', yielding 'the quality of being noisy'.

Etymology

The word racketiness comes from racket, which means a 'loud noise' or noisy commotion, plus -ness, which makes it a quality. So racketiness is the quality of being loud and full of disturbing noise, like a party 'making a racket'.
