Morphology

richness = rich (transparent) = rich + ness

Standard nominalization expressing the quality of fullness or pleasing intensity in sensory domains (taste, sound), which is directly derived from 'rich'.

Etymology

Richness comes from an old English and German root rich, meaning 'wealthy' or 'powerful'. That idea of being 'full' or 'plentiful' is why we call a deep taste or a warm sound a type of richness.
