Morphology

sagginess = saggy (transparent) = sag + y + ness

Formed by a normal adjective-to-noun derivation (sag -> saggy -> sagginess), so the meaning is directly the state of being saggy.

Etymology

Sagginess comes from the simple verb sag plus the ending -ness meaning 'a state', and sag once meant 'to hang down' or 'to sink'. So sagginess describes the state of being loose or droopy, like a mattress or skin that hangs down.
