Morphology

sappiness = sappy (semi-transparent) = sappy + ness

Formed regularly from the adjective 'sappy', but this literal botanical sense is less frequent and may be unexpected for learners.

Etymology

Sappiness comes from sap ('plant juice') and -ness ('quality'), so it simply means the 'quality of being full of sap', the juiciness or fresh growth of a plant.
