Morphology

succulency = succulent (transparent) = succulent + ency

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ency' to the adjective 'succulent', yielding the straightforward meaning 'the quality of being succulent'.

Etymology

Succulency comes from the old Latin word succus, which means 'juice', and it shares this root with the common word succulent (a juicy plant or rich food). So, succulency simply means the 'juiciness' or tasty, water-filled quality of something.
