Morphology

thinness = thin (transparent) = thin + ness

Standard nominalization from the adjective 'thin' by the productive suffix '-ness', yielding the state or quality 'being thin'.

Etymology

Thinness comes from thin + -ness, and thin is often used for liquids that are 'not thick'. Think of a sauce that pours easily because it is 'thin'—that low density or low viscosity is what thinness means for liquids.
