Morphology

soapiness = soapy (transparent) = soap + y + ness

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'soapy', which itself is a clear derivation from 'soap'.

Etymology

Soapiness comes from soap and the ending -iness, because soap is the cleaning bar and -iness means 'a state' or 'condition'. So soapiness is the 'state of being soapy', meaning having soap on it or feeling like soap.
