Morphology

toothsomeness = toothsome (transparent) = toothsome + ness

Standard nominalization of the adjective 'toothsome' with the productive suffix '-ness', so the noun's meaning is directly derived from the adjective.

Etymology

Toothsomeness comes from the adjective toothsome, made from tooth and -some, where tooth means 'teeth' or 'bite' and -some means 'causing'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine food that makes your teeth want to bite, so toothsomeness is the quality of being 'very tasty' or 'pleasing to the taste'.
